About Sinusitis:

Sinusitis is swelling of the tissue lining the paranasal sinuses. Sinusitis is also known as a sinus infection or rhinosinusitis. Sinuses are small, air-filled cavities in the bones around the nose like your cheekbones and forehead that connect to the nose through small, narrow channels. Normally sinuses are filled with air but, when virus or bacteria infect the sinuses, infection causes the sinus lining to swell and block the channels that drain the sinuses. Because of swelling the sinus drainage pathways are blocked and infection builds mucus and pus to fill up the nose and sinus cavities, which causes headache and facial pain.
