The sinus tissues swell, blocking the ability to drain. Symptoms include a stuffy, <a href=\"https:\/\/advancedent.com\/allergy-asthma\/nasal-congestion\/\">congested<\/a> or blocked nose, pain, pressure or fullness in the face, head or around the eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Sinusitis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It frequently starts with a common cold. Initially, sinusitis is acute causing sinus pain or facial pressure along with nasal congestion and sinus drainage. If left untreated it can become chronic. It is most commonly caused by bacteria and in less common cases caused by fungi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"852\" src=\"https:\/\/advancedent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ped-Sinusitis-1280x852.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ped-Sinusitis-1280x852.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/advancedent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ped-Sinusitis-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/advancedent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ped-Sinusitis-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/advancedent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ped-Sinusitis.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is Sinusitis Treated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment usually requires therapy with an antibiotic, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/acute-sinusitis\/expert-answers\/acute-sinusitis\/faq-20058562\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nasal spray<\/a> to relieve nasal congestion and inflammation and a drug to thin out the mucus to promote drainage.
