How common are sinus infections?
Sinus infections often follow simple colds. Most viral infections ("colds") last less than a week. Longer-lasting symptoms often indicate nasal allergy or the development of a sinus infection.
Why do people get sinus infections?
The most common predisposing factors include untreated allergy, twisted nasal anatomy, the overuse of decongestant nose sprays from the chemist and exposure to young children, who always seem to have a cold! Nasal polyps and smoking can predispose to infection. Diet plays no role in causing or preventing infection. A weak immune system is a very rare cause, especially is sinus infection is the only major problem.
How are sinus infections treated?
Early treatment with steam inhalations or salt water nose sprays will often help the infection to go away without needing to resort to antibiotics. When antibiotics are needed, the entire course must be completed. Encouraging people to stop smoking and treating their allergies makes it less likely that they will have future infections. Surgery is sometimes needed when medication does not help.
