What is Sinusitis?

Sinusitis, also known as a sinus infection, is a common condition that occurs when the cavities around the nasal passages become inflamed and swollen. This inflammation can be caused by infections, allergies, or other factors that impede mucus drainage, leading to an accumulation of mucus and pressure in the sinus cavities.
