Sinusitis About & Support

Sinusitis is most often a bacterial infection, though one usually resulting from another underlying cause. Infection occurs when inflammation or other swelling seals the normally patent sinus cavities, which quickly results in an anaerobic environment conducive to the growth of certain bacteria, often Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, or Moraxella catarrhalis.
Negative pressure resulting from the depletion of oxygen in the sinus accounts for most of the associated pain, although if left untreated the infection can proceed to life-threatening complications. Sinusitis can be acute or chronic, often depending on whether the root cause is acute or chronic.

The most common triggering causes are allergic inflammation of the nasal mucosa, chronic irritation (e.g., from tobacco smoke), a preceding viral upper respiratory infection (URI), an undiagnosed dental infection, or chronic obstruction due to nasal polyps.

Treating sinusitis should involve reducing congestion and inflammation to allow drainage while supporting the immune system and, as necessary, addressing the root cause to prevent recurrence. Fungal sinusitis, while uncommon, can become a significant issue in immune-compromised patients and requires aggressive therapy.
