Symptoms of sinusitis

The characteristic symptom of sinusitis is a post nasal drip causing a dry cough. A person with sinusitis repeatedly clears the throat, to remove the irritation at the back of the throat. Take a torch and look at the back wall of the throat. It will be  seen to be inflamed and red, showing a clear, white or yellow pus-like fluid draining down the back wall of the throat.

Headaches are a common symptom of sinusitis. Low grade headaches occur with chronic sinusitis which can escalate into severe headaches with the aggravating factors described below. Headaches from the frontal sinus start above the eyebrows and radiate to the top or back of the head. Maxillary sinusitis causes pain in the cheeks or teeth. Ethmoid sinusitis causes eye pain. Sphenoidal sinusitis causes pain behind the eyes, in the centre of the skull and can be agonizing. Sinus headaches are often misdiagnosed as migraines.

Chronic sinusitis causes a feeling of being unwell, tiredness, fatigue or weakness. It is also a leading cause of bad breath, sleep apnea, nasal polyps, and a reduced ability to smell and taste food.
