Sinusitis, commonly known as Sinus infection, is an inflammation, or swelling, of the tissue lining your sinuses (four paired cavities spaces in your head).
Sinus infection can cause facial pain, stuffy or runny nose, fever, and other symptoms. It is typically caused by the common cold, but it can also be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and allergies.
Notably, Sinuses produce mucus, which drains from the nasal passages. This drainage aids in the removal of bacteria, allergens, and other germs (pathogens) from your nose. Sinus infection types are largely based on how long it’s been going on. Sinus infection types are broadly classified as Acute, subacute, chronic, and recurrent sinusitis.
Air pollution can be a culprit when it comes to sinus issues. The pollutants in the air, such as particulate matter, can irritate the nasal passages and sinuses when breathed in. This irritation can lead to inflammation and congestion, worsening sinus symptoms.
Long-term exposure to air pollution may also compromise respiratory health, making individuals more susceptible to respiratory infections, including sinusitis. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses that can cause symptoms such as facial pain, headaches, and nasal congestion.
