Sinusitis is an inflammation of the nasal sinuses.
These are four sets of open spaces within the bones of the skull that
are part of the "plumbing" system of the head. There are
sinuses above the eyes or "frontal sinuses"; to either side
of the nose, inside the cheekbones or "maxillary sinuses";
behind the bridge of the nose also called the "sphenoid
sinuses"; and in the upper nose or "ethmoid sinuses".
Most cases of sinusitis affect the frontal and/or maxillary sinuses,
but any or all of the sinuses may be involved, and each individual
tends to have problems with a particular set of sinuses. If the
sinuses are too small or poorly positioned to handle the volume of
mucus produced, they can become clogged. Pressure in the sinuses
increases, causing pain. Sinuses that are clogged for a long time seem
to invite infection. Sinusitis can be either acute or chronic. Acute
sinusitis is frequently caused by bacterial or viral infections of the
nose, throat, and upper respiratory tract, such as the common cold.
Over 50% of all cases of sinusitis are caused by bacteria. Chronic
sinusitis problems may be caused by small growths in the nose, injury
of the nasal bones, smoking, and exposure to
bad fumes and other smells.

Allergic sinusitis may be caused
by hay fever or food allergies, especially
allergies to milk
and dairy products. People with compromised immune systems are
susceptible to fungal sinusitis, a potentially dangerous
condition that requires aggressive treatment. Symptoms of
sinusitis include fever (usually low-grade, but higher in some
cases), cough , headache , earache,
toothache , facial pain , cranial pressure, difficulty breathing
through the nose, loss of the sense of smell, and tenderness
over the forehead and cheekbones. If tapping the forehead just
over the eyes, the cheekbones, or the area around the bridge
of the nose causes pain, the sinuses may be infected.
Sometimes sinusitis produces facial swelling followed by a
stuffy nose and thick discharge of mucus. The symptoms
suffered by those with sinusitis can have other unpleasant
effects. Postnasal drip can cause a sore throat, nausea, and
bad breath; difficulty breathing can cause snoring problems
and also sleeping problems.
