Sinusitis is the tissue inflammation of the membrane lining the sinus. Due to the inflammation, the sinus membrane gets filled with mucus, fluid, waste matter etc. This leaves very little room for air in the sinus membrane. The absence of air blocks the nose. The sense of smell goes away. The forehead might feel heavy as well. The resonance of the voice gets lost and it becomes nasal. In many cases, this leads to nasal discharge and result in a fever as well.

Sinusitis can be chronic or acute. Chronic sinusitis refers to cases where the sinusitis lasts long and does not go away easily. The ones that last for a shorter duration is known as acute sinusitis.

What are the symptoms of chronic sinusitis?

• Heaviness of forehead and nasal blockage
• Loss of shrill in the voice due to lack of air
• Difficulty in breathing from the nose (the mouth is used instead)
• Persistent sneezing
• Persistent headache
• Light pain near the eye and the cheeks
• Due to a recurrent cough, pain might get transferred to the ears
• Tendency to vomit or a feeling of nausea
