The sinus infection symptoms can have different causes and require different types of treatments.
The key to understanding sinus infection symptoms is to recognize the effects and treat them
quickly to help reduce the pain and irritation before it can become a serious problem.
Generally speaking,sinus infection symptoms can be divided into two categories, acute
or chronic.Acute is more severe form of sinus infection symptoms, often resulting in patients
visiting their physicians for treatment.
Acute symptoms of sinus infections can be determined if the symptoms persist enough
to be noticeable. Generally you will notice symptoms if they occur over several days in
maybe a gradual increasing intensity. Occasionally symptoms of bad breath when there is no dental
source can be a symptom that many do not know about.
Left untreated, acute symptoms of a sinus infection will then attack other areas such
as the eye sockets for example and can lead to serious complications and even death.
Chronic sinus infection symptoms are less severe forms of sinus infection symptoms.
Generally speaking, they affect the same areas that acute symptoms of a sinus infection,
but they do not last as long and fade gradually over time.
In many cases, chronic sinus infection symptoms can be treated with over the counter medication.
Here are the general areas affected by acute symptoms of a sinus infection.
If these symptoms persist and gradually worsen over time, normally a week or more then seek
immediate treatment.
