Sinusitis
?
It is the inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, the air-filled cavities located in the bones of the face. This condition can be caused by infections, allergies, or irritants, and can be acute (temporary) or chronic (persistent).
Causes
Sinusitis occurs when the sinuses become blocked, allowing bacteria, viruses, or fungi to grow and cause inflammation. It may also be related to other respiratory conditions.
The most common causes are:
• Viral or bacterial infections
• Colds or flu
• Allergies (such as allergic rhinitis)
• Deviation of the nasal septum
• Nasal polyps
• Pollution or smoke
• Pressure changes (air travel, diving)
Can it be treated?
Depending on the cause, sinusitis may be treated with decongestants, antihistamines, nasal steroids, or antibiotics if there is a bacterial infection. At Dzeus, our licensed professionals evaluate you through an online consultation and provide you with effective treatment adapted to your symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common symptoms?
Most people with sinusitis experience symptoms such as a feeling of pressure in the face, nasal congestion, and thick yellow or greenish discharge. Headache, moderate fever, bad breath, and a cough that worsens during the night may also occur.
When symptoms last longer than 10 days or worsen after initial improvement, it may be bacterial sinusitis that requires medical attention.
What types of sinusitis are there?
Sinusitis is classified according to the duration of the symptoms:
- Acute: lasts less than 4 weeks and is usually caused by a common cold.
- Subacute: Symptoms persist for 4 to 12 weeks.
- Chronicle: lasts longer than 12 weeks and may require longer treatment.
- Recurrent: when a person has several acute episodes throughout the year.
What causes sinusitis?
In most cases, acute sinusitis is due to viral infections. However, it can also be caused by bacteria, fungi, or by conditions such as allergies, nasal polyps, deviation of the nasal septum, or constant exposure to pollutants. Even factors such as smoking or the excessive use of nasal decongestants can favor their appearance.
Is Sinusitis Contagious?
Sinusitis itself is not contagious, but the virus that can cause it (such as cold viruses) does. Therefore, it is important to maintain good respiratory hygiene and avoid close contact with sick people, especially during times of flu or colds.
What can I do to prevent sinusitis?
Maintaining good nasal hygiene, avoiding sudden changes in temperature, treating allergies properly and avoiding tobacco smoke are key to preventing sinusitis. It is also recommended to use humidifiers in dry environments and avoid prolonged exposure to contaminants or dust.
When should I see a doctor?
If symptoms last longer than 10 days, worsen rather than improve, or appear with a high fever, severe facial pain or blurred vision, it is advisable to see a specialist. Also if you suffer from repetitive episodes or chronic sinusitis.
In Dzeus Health, our professionals can help you effectively manage and treat this condition.
