The Truth Behind the Symptoms of a Sinus Infection
I was sneezing throughout my younger years and didn’t know what hit me. My school nurse told me that I had a cold. I believed in the nurse and I just kept her diagnosis to myself. I lived a life of sneezing and nasal drip.
At the age of 10, I was still having the same symptoms and I didn’t believe what the nurse had told me. “Do cold actually last years,” I asked myself. I finally got a different opinion from my junior high nurse. This school nurse told me that it wasn’t a cold, it was an allergy.
I asked my parents when I got home for allergy medicine. They had never even taken it before. My mom bought some, but it wasn’t the non-drowsy kind for sure. I could still recall how drowsy I was during school time. My teacher set me aside one day and actually accused me of taking illegal drugs. That was all because of the drowsy antihistamine I was taking.
That’s how my younger years were and when my sinus infections started to occur. Here are 2 types of sinusitis (sinus infections). Acute and chronic are the 2 types.
Here are the symptoms:
Acute Sinusitis Symptoms
* Mucus drainage down the back of the throat
* Fever is common
* Nasal congestion
* Pain behind the eyes
* Facial pain or soreness
* Pressure around the sinus cavities
* Nasal discharge
* Vision problems
* Headaches
Chronic Sinus Infection Symptoms
* Prolonged facial pain
* Pressure across or above your nasal passages
* Prolonged headaches
* Chronic sore throat
* Chronic nasal discharge
* Toothaches
* Bad breath
* Pain below the eyes
How Long Do These Sinus Infection Symptoms Last?
There’s man similarities between the 2 types of symptoms. The main difference is how long the symptoms will actually last. Acute sinus infections last for a month or two. Chronic symptoms usually last beyond that and can occur throughout the year.
