Emerald ENT

A sinus infection, or sinusitis, occurs when the sinus cavities become inflamed. The inflamed sinuses create blockages that prevent bacteria and viruses from being able to drain out. The build-up of bacteria and viruses is what causes the infection. Sinus infections affect millions of people each year, and they can either be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). If a sinus infection lasts longer than 12 weeks, it is considered chronic.

If you have any symptoms relating to your ears, nose, throat, or jaw that aren't normal, you must see an ENT specialist right away. This urgency will help get to the root of the issue quicker and allow more time to find an effective solution. If you wait too long, it could become more difficult to find a time that fits into your schedule which could make the problem(s) worse in turn.
