Quick Facts
- Sinuses are air-filled cavities in the skull that are connected to the nasal passages.
- There are four pairs of sinuses in the human head: the frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and maxillary sinuses.
- These help to humidify and filter the air we breathe, as well as produce mucus to keep the nasal passages moist.
- Sinusitis is a common condition where the sinuses become inflamed or infected, leading to symptoms such as nasal congestion, facial pain, and headaches.
- Factors that can contribute to sinusitis include allergies, infections, and structural issues in the nasal passages.
- Infections can be acute (lasting less than four weeks), subacute (lasting four to 12 weeks), or chronic (lasting more than 12 weeks).
- Treatment may include antibiotics, decongestants, nasal corticosteroids, or in severe cases, surgery to improve drainage.
- Some people are more prone to sinusitis than others, such as those with allergies, asthma, or a weakened immune system.
- Keeping these areas moist by using a humidifier, staying hydrated, and avoiding irritants like cigarette smoke can help prevent issues.
