Sinusitis

Sinusitis, also known as rhinosinusitis, is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, which are air-filled spaces located in the bones of the face and skull. Sinusitis can occur as a result of a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection, or due to allergies or other irritants that cause inflammation and blockage of the sinus openings. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to improve sinus drainage and relieve symptoms. This may involve endoscopic sinus surgery, which is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera to guide the surgeon in removing blockages or enlarging the sinus openings.

It is important to seek medical attention if symptoms of Sinusitis persist or worsen, as untreated sinusitis can lead to complications such as the spread of infection to other areas of the body, or the development of chronic sinusitis.
