Common Symptoms of Acute Sinusitis

Acute sinusitis usually comes on suddenly and lasts up to 4 weeks. The most common symptoms include:

1. Feeling of pressure or pain in the face
It often appears around the eyes, forehead or cheekbones. The discomfort may be worse when you bend over or lie down.

2. Nasal congestion and obstruction
The nose may be “stuffy”, making breathing difficult. Sufferers often feel that their nose is full of mucus.

3. Headache
Severe headaches aggravated by sinus pressure.

4. Decreased or loss of smell
Because of the inflammation, you may have trouble smelling or tasting.

5. Fever
Although not always, a mild fever may accompany the infection.

Not the most pleasant, especially during the Christmas season. But with proper treatment it passes and usually lasts around 4 weeks.
