Among the common, uncomfortable symptoms that people with sinusitis suffer:
● Nasal obstruction or nasal congestion
● Thick and discolored drainage (mucus)
● Decreased ability to smell or taste
● Facial pressure, discomfort or a feeling of fullness
Sinusitis can cause some less common symptoms, including:
● Headache
● Fatigue
● Bad breath
● Fever
● Tooth pain (especially in the upper teeth)
● Cough
● Ear pressure
Because a number of sources can cause sinusitis, ranging from bacterial and/or viral infections, allergies or environmental irritants, make an appointment with a health care provider if your sinus infection lingers beyond 10 days or if you have recurring sinus infections.
