Chronic Sinusitis caused by Mold Allergy

Chronic sinusitis caused by mold allergy is a long-lasting inflammation of the sinuses triggered by an allergic reaction to mold spores in the environment. When someone with this allergy breathes in mold, their immune system overreacts, leading to symptoms like nasal congestion, facial pain, and thick nasal discharge. This inflammation can persist for months or longer, making it difficult to breathe comfortably or sense smells. Treatment often includes avoiding mold exposure, using medications to reduce symptoms, and in some cases, seeing a specialist for further management.
