Physical constitution determines the development of sinusitis
1 of 5
It is commonly believed that those with a good physical build up are less prone to sinusitis. However, if studies are to be believed your physical constitution has little or nothing to do with sinusitis. A sound immune system definitely can be a preventive measure but does not ensure complete protection from sinusitis.
Which among these is a possible cause of sinusitis?
2 of 5
Sinusitis refers to a condition when the tissues that line the sinuses are inflamed. It is an extremely painful condition that is caused by multiple factors. Swimming and allergies are the most common contributors to the condition. On the contrary, cold, though considered a common cause, does not cause sinusitis but merely breeds it.
Antibiotics are the most trusted treatment for sinusitis
3 of 5
Though antibiotics are preferred as the most trusted medication for sinusitis, most of the time they are unnecessary. This is because the virus that triggers the condition is incurable by antibiotics.
Which age group among these is most likely to suffer from sinusitis?
4 of 5
Like most conditions, sinusitis can occur at any age and to any person. However, if the question is which age is most susceptible to the condition, then the answer may vary. According to studies, people who are above sixty-five years of age are more likely to suffer from sinusitis.
Sinus is a temporary condition
5 of 5
Contrary to popular perceptions, sinusitis is not a temporary condition. You may be relieved from its symptoms by administering medications, but that is merely an interim solution. Once you develop sinusitis, chances are that it will trouble you for a long time.
