Nasal sinus inflammation is referred to as sinusitis. In typical conditions, the sinuses secrete a small amount of mucus. The mucosal membrane, however, dramatically boosts mucus production when inflammation takes hold. Bacterial, fungal, viral, or allergic causes are frequently responsible for inflammation.

The sinus mucosa swells as a result of nasal sinus inflammation, which blocks the sinus outflow. Since the pus is unable to go through the nose, pressure builds up inside the sinus cavities, resulting in increased inflammation. As a result, the drainage channels become blocked and the inflammation gets worse, creating a vicious cycle.

THE MOST REGULAR SINUSITIS Symptoms include
• Pain and sensitivity
• Nasal clogging
• A facial ache
• Headaches
• General unwellness and exhaustion
• Thick nasal discharge that is green or yellow
• Nasal drip after.
• Inflammation of the throat brought on by post-nasal drip
• Congested ears
• Dizziness
