FAQ
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, the air-filled spaces behind your forehead, cheeks, and eyes. It can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) and is often caused by viral, bacterial, or fungal infections, allergies, nasal polyps, or a deviated septum.
Acute sinusitis typically lasts less than four weeks, while chronic sinusitis may persist for longer periods.
While sinusitis is usually a self-limiting condition that resolves on its own, it’s essential to seek medical attention if symptoms persist for more than a 10 days. Antibiotics are prescribed in certain cases if symptoms persist for longer than 10 day days

When to seek medical attention

These may indicate a more severe infection or complications that require medical evaluation and treatment.
