What is Sinusitis?

Sinus or Paranasal Sinuses are air filled spaces around the nose in the facial skeleton. They lighten the skull and provide depth to the voice. Infection in paranasal sinuses is known as sinusitis. Infection and allergy cause the drainage pathway of sinuses into the nose to get clogged. The retained secretion gets infected and causes symptoms.
