Subacute Sinusitis

Subacute sinusitis is a type of sinus infection that lasts longer than acute sinusitis but is not chronic. It typically occurs after an upper respiratory infection and lasts from 4 to 12 weeks. Symptoms may include nasal congestion, facial pain or pressure, headache, and thick nasal discharge. While it can be uncomfortable, it often resolves on its own or with treatment such as decongestants and nasal sprays. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to see a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
