An infection, swelling, and inflammation of the nasal canals is often the result of a sinus infection. Other names for it include rhinosinusitis and sinusitis. It may arise as a result of fluid accumulation in the sinuses, which fosters the growth of bacteria and other microbes. Usually brought on by a virus, it frequently persists after other upper respiratory symptoms have subsided. Fungal or bacterial infections can sometimes result in sinus infections. The choice of treatment for a sinus infection is based on how severe the symptoms are.

• Nasal Congestion: Swelling in your sinuses and nasal passageways may give you a sense of being obstructed. Nasal congestion will most likely prevent you from tasting or smelling.
• Sinus headaches: You may have headaches if your sinuses are inflamed and under continuous pressure. When you move your head, the barometric pressure changes, which might make it worse after resting down.
• Tenderness in the face: Facial tenderness is a typical sign of a sinus infection. On the forehead, cheeks, beneath the eyes, and nasal bridge, you might feel tenderness.
• Runny nose and postnasal drip: As a result of repeated blowing, the nasal discharge might appear yellow, green, hazy, and pink-tinged with blood.
• Discharge: A sinus infection frequently manifests as nasal discharge. Additionally, it may result in hoarseness, a tickling sensation in the throat, a painful throat, and coughing at night or in the morning after waking up.
• Cough and painful throat: Postnasal drip can produce a persistent cough and sore throat. It may get worse if you get out of bed or lie down to sleep. It could also make it more difficult to get to sleep.
• Hoarse voice and painful throat: When mucus drops, it can irritate your throat, causing hoarseness in your voice. It might worsen with frequent cleaning of the throat and coughing.
• Fever: In rare cases, sinusitis can also cause a low-grade fever (100.4 to 103°F).
• Bad breath (halitosis): Halitosis, or foul breath, is caused by mucus produced by infected sinuses that can smell terrible and run down the throat and into the mouth.

• A medical professional would often recommend a nasal decongestant spray, such oxymetazoline, to assist temporarily ease sinus infection symptoms. Typically, a doctor advises taking it for three days at a time. Using these drugs for an extended period of time may make the symptoms worse. Steroid nasal sprays, such as fluticasone (Flonase) or triamcinolone, can reduce the symptoms of nasal congestion without causing rebound symptoms when used for an extended period of time. OTC decongestants and antihistamines may be beneficial for sinus infections in the event of allergies. Sudafed, cetirizine (Zyrtec), fexofenadine (Allegra), and loratadine (Claritin) are a few popular choices. 

• If you suffer from glaucoma, high blood pressure, prostate problems, or trouble sleeping, stay away from decongestants. The best course of action for you will be determined after speaking with your healthcare practitioner.

• The process of nasal irrigation entails clearing your nose. If you suffer from various kinds of sinus infections or chronic rhinosinusitis, it helps. To help flush out dirt and allergens as well as clean up mucus, you can practice pushing saline solution through your nasal passages.

• In cases of severe disorders, a medical professional typically suggests functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). This operation involves little invasiveness. Nasal endoscopes are small tubes with lights and lenses that a surgeon employs during surgery to treat sinus issues without cutting into or near the nose.
