Everybody has them, and most have suffered from them at some point, yet, no one can live without them. So what are these things that help us breathe but sometimes also cause us to suffer? Well, they are sinuses, and we will break down everything you need to know about them!
It’s time to clear the air! Your sinuses are the perfect place for your palate, brain, and nose to have a good clean. Allergies can come from dust, pollen, or bacteria in your nose, causing breathing complications. Let’s start by answering the question, “What are sinuses?”
What Are Sinuses?
Health Concerns for Clogged Sinuses
Types of Sinusitis
- Acute: It is the most basic form of the sinus. The symptoms resemble a cold, and symptoms can last 2-4 weeks.
- Subacute: It occurs between acute and chronic with similar symptoms to acute but typically lasts longer, anywhere from 4-12 weeks.
- Chronic: This is where it gets severe and uncomfortable. The sinus symptoms will last about 12 weeks.
How to Treat Sinusitis
Chronic sinusitis will require the doctor to test and determine whether you have developed a bacterial or viral infection. Individuals who experience sinus symptoms throughout the year may undergo balloon sinuplasty. It is a minimally invasive procedure that opens the sinus pathways permanently to avoid year-round sinusitis.
