Sinusitis (sinus infection) is an infection that makes your sinuses swell up, usually caused by having a cold or the flu.
Sinusitis symptoms
The common symptoms of sinusitis are:
- Pain around your cheeks, eyes or forehead
- Blocked and runny nose
- Green and yellow mucus (snot)
- Reduced sense of smell
- A high temperature (fever)
- Bad breath
How long does sinusitis last?
There are two main forms of sinusitis: acute and chronic.
Acute sinusitis is usually not very serious with symptoms clearing up within a week of developing, but some people may experience them for up to 4 weeks.
Chronic sinusitis can have more severe symptoms, and lasts 12 weeks or more.
