How to Identify Acute Sinusitis Symptoms
Instructions
-
-
1
Pain. Your face will feel extremely tender especially around your eyes, forehead, cheeks, and nose. This pain is because there is pressure in your sinuses.
-
2
Difficulty breathing. It will be difficult to breath because your nose will be stuffy. Sleeping when you have sinusitis is very uncomfortable and it is basically impossible to breath through your nose due to the congestion.
-
3
Fatigue. It’s one of those conditions that makes you feel as if you have to drag yourself out of bed. Any kind of infection produces a sense of fatigue.
-
4
Fever. You may have a fever because your body is trying to kill off the infection. As long as your fever isn’t extremely high, allow your body to try to rid itself of the infection as much as possible. You can try to take care of the infection at home if your infection isn’t severe. Always call your physician if you have a fever that is higher than 100.5 degrees F.
-
5
Cough. Mucus that constantly drains down your throat from this infection will cause you to cough.
-
6
Yellow or green mucus. Your nasal discharge will take on a colorful hue when you have sinusitis.
