Kapanlagi.com - Everyone uses their sense of smell to identify smells or aromas. Unfortunately, respiratory system disorders often interfere with the sense of smell. Sinusitis is one of the most common disorders. Sinusitis can be experienced by anyone, from children to adults regardless of age and gender.
Although it is a relatively common disease, many still do not understand what sinusitis is. As a result, many underestimate sinusitis. This disorder is often ignored and considered as a common flu symptom. However, sinusitis is a serious health problem that should be addressed immediately.
To better understand what sinusitis is, please refer to the following summary from various sources.

The term sinusitis comes from the word sinus, which is another name for a small cavity located in the face, specifically around the cheekbones, below the forehead, behind the nasal cavity between the eyes and nose. As reported by klikdokter.com, sinuses produce mucus (sticky and thick fluid) in the nose to prevent the entry of germs and allergies.
Meanwhile, sinusitis is an infection or inflammation that occurs in the sinus area. This infection causes the sinus cavity to be filled with fluid and bacteria. As a result, breathing becomes obstructed. Sinusitis should be treated immediately. Because if not, this condition can become chronic and last for a long time, even up to 3 months.

As mentioned earlier, sinusitis is inflammation or infection in the sinus area. This infection can be caused by bacteria or germs. In the long run, bacteria and germs that multiply in the sinuses will make sinusitis worse. However, besides being caused by bacterial and germ attacks, sinusitis can also be caused by other factors.
Apart from bacteria and germs, some causes of sinusitis are allergies, flu, pollution, or nasal polyps (benign growths in the nasal cavity). The risk of sinusitis in adults can also be higher, caused by several other factors. For example, injuries to the nasal area, fungal infections, tooth infections, diving and swimming activities, smoking habits (both active and passive), and enlarged adenoid glands.
Meanwhile, the risk of sinusitis in children can also increase due to several factors. Some risk factors for sinusitis in children include allergies, being exposed to other children, living in a smoky environment, and drinking from a bottle or using a pacifier while lying down.
Like other types of diseases, sinusitis does not occur suddenly in severe conditions. In the early stages, sinusitis will also show symptoms. Therefore, it is important to know these symptoms in order to take immediate treatment. Some symptoms of sinusitis are as follows.
1. Blocked nose
2. Headache
3. Pain or pressure in the forehead, cheeks, nose between the eyes.
4. Bad breath
5. Decreased sense of taste
6. Often accompanied by fever
7. Sore throat
