I have been having cold and catarrh for the past few weeks. On my last visit to the doctor, I was diagnosed with Sinusitis. Although my doctor tried to explain what this is, I will still appreciate it if you can explain what it is.

Sinusitis, or a sinus infection, is an inflammation of the sinuses – the air-filled cavities around your nose, eyes, and cheeks. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or allergies. Symptoms like facial pain, congestion, nasal discharge, headaches, cough, fatigue, and a reduced sense of smell. Acute sinusitis lasts a short time, while chronic sinusitis persists for more than 12 weeks.
Common causes include respiratory infections, nasal polyps, or a deviated septum. In addition to medications prescribed by your doctor, hot steam inhalation with some life style changes will also go a long way in the cure of the Sinusitis.
