Sinusitis

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, which are air-filled spaces in your skull. It can happen when allergies cause nasal passages to swell, trapping mucus and leading to infection. Common symptoms include nasal congestion, facial pain, and a runny nose. In allergy and immunology, sinusitis is often linked to allergic reactions, such as to pollen, dust, or pet dander. When the immune system responds to these allergens, it can lead to chronic sinus issues, making it crucial to manage allergies effectively to reduce sinusitis episodes. Treatment may include medications or allergy management strategies.
