Chronic sinusitis, also known as chronic rhinosinusitis, is a common
complaint in the world of ear, nose, and throat medicine. The condition
occurs when the sinuses become inflamed, swollen, or irritated. To be
considered chronic, sinusitis must last 12 or more weeks through treatment
attempts.
The primary symptoms of sinusitis include unusual discharges from the nose
and down the back of the throat. Nasal obstructions, pain or pressure, and
problems smelling or tasting are also common. Some patients experience a
sore throat, cough, fatigue, or nausea.
Seeing a doctor is generally advisable if these symptoms last more than a
week or if sinusitis has occurred previously. If sinusitis is accompanied by
high fever, severe headache, stiff neck, double vision, or other serious
symptoms, the patient should see a doctor as soon as possible.
