Sinus Infection Symptoms - Common Questions
What are sinuses?
Sinuses are small air-filled passageways and air pockets within bone and tissue. The sinuses that develop sinusitis are the paranasal sinuses - a group of four types of sinus within the head.These are the maxillary sinuses underneath the eyes, the frontal sinuses on the lower forehead, the ethmoid sinuses between the nose and eyes and the sphenoid sinuses at the base of the skull.
How do sinuses become infected?
These air filled sinuses also contain mucus which drains into the nasal cavity through small passages called Ostia. These small passages become inflamed as a result of allergic reactions, or viral infections such as the flu and can easily become blocked. When blocked the mucus is no longer able to drain into the nasal passage and infection occurs. Maxillary sinus infection symptoms are the most common.
