Allergic Conditions: Sinusitis
Sinusitis
is an inflammation of the nasal sinuses, which are hollow cavities within the
cheek bones found around and behind the nose. The inflammation is usually caused
by inadequate draining due to allergy, infection or obstruction. Common symptoms
include thick yellowish/green nasal discharge, headache, feelings of facial
fullness, congestion, fatigue, and fever.
