Helpful Information For Nasal Allergies

Exploring the Symptoms of Sinus Infection

Did you ever trust a school nurse before? I did when she diagnosed my symptoms as a cold. I believed in the nurse and I just kept her diagnosis to myself. I was the type of kid that would be wiping my nose and sniffling all day.

By the age of 10, I started to question what the nurse had told me. How could I be sneezing and wiping my nasal drip for so long?" I finally got a different opinion from my junior high nurse. She diagnosed my symptoms as allergies.

I asked my parents when I got home for allergy medicine. They had never even taken it before. My parents went to the supermarket and bought the drowsy kind. So when I was in class one day, the teacher talked to me one-on-one and asked me if she could talk to my parents. She actually thought I was taking some illegal drugs. That was when I was 10 years old.

That's when my allergies and sinus problems started to elevate. There are 2 kinds of sinus infection and they have symptoms that are similar to, or could be aggravated by allergies. Acute and chronic are the 2 kinds of sinus infections.

Here's a list of the symptoms

Acute Sinusitis Symptoms

* Mucus drainage down the back of the throat * Fever is common * Facial pain or soreness * Pressure around the sinus cavities * Nasal discharge * Vision problems * Headaches * Nasal congestion * Pain behind the eyes

Symptoms of Chronic Sinus Infection

* Prolonged headaches * Chronic sore throat * Pain below the eyes * Pressure across or above your nasal passages * Bad breath * Prolonged facial pain * Toothaches * Chronic nasal discharge

When Will These Sinus Infection Symptoms Go Away?

There's man similarities between the 2 types of symptoms. The main difference is how long they occur and the severity of the symptoms. You can have acute sinus infections for 4-8 weeks. Chronic sinus infections typically last for longer period of time.
