Bacterial Sinusitis
Bacterial sinusitis is inflammation of the sinuses, the hollow spaces behind the eyes, nose, forehead and cheeks, caused by a bacterial infection. It brings facial pressure, a blocked or runny nose and changes in smell.
Key points
- A viral cold can sometimes turn into bacterial sinusitis when swollen tissue traps mucus in the sinuses and bacteria multiply.
- Facial pressure may worsen on bending forward, and the infection can spread to the upper teeth, making it feel like a dental problem.
