What is Sinusitis?
Sinusitis, also known as a sinus infection, is a common condition in which the sinus cavities in the upper skull become inflamed and cannot properly drain. As a result, fluid and mucus accumulate and the nasal passages become obstructed. Additionally, the clogged material cause viruses, bacteria, and fungi to grow and cause an infection. Sinusitis is a debilitating disease affecting more than 37 million Americans annually.
