Do You Have a Sinus Infection

By: Mike Herrington

At the age of 10, I was still having the same symptoms and I didn't believe what the nurse had told me. How could I be sneezing and wiping my nasal drip for so long?" So I decided to pay a visit to the junior high school 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 parents bough the allergy medication. Unfortunately it caused drowsiness. I could remember being so sleepy during class time. I couldn't believe that my teacher actually accused me of taking drugs (the kind that aren't allowed at school) when in fact I was only taking allergy medication.

My symptoms of sinus infections escalated from that point forward. What I'm about to describe are two types of sinus infections. These are called acute sinus infections and chronic sinus infections.

Here's the difference:

Acute Sinusitis Symptoms

* Headaches
* Mucus drainage down the back of the throat
* Fever is common
* Facial pain or soreness
* Pressure around the sinus cavities
* Nasal congestion
* Pain behind the eyes
* Nasal discharge
* Vision problems

Symptoms of Chronic Sinus Infection

* Bad breath
* Prolonged facial pain
* Chronic nasal discharge
* Pain below the eyes
* Prolonged headaches
* Pressure across or above your nasal passages
* Chronic sore throat
* Toothaches

How Long Until These Sinus Infection Symptoms Disappear?

As you can see, these symptoms have some similarities. However, what is dissimilar is amount of time that the symptoms will last. Acute symptoms are shorter and typically last a month. Chronic sinus infections can last for months.

How Do I Treat My Sinus Infections?

It might be the case that over-the-counter medications or herbal remedies can assist you. Please consult with a medical professional if you feel that your symptoms are severe. Thinking in from your end, I'm sure you wouldn't want to have any side effects.
