This can create pressure and discomfort and, in some cases, lead to infection.<\/p>\n<p>Sinus infections may be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acute (lasting up to 10 days)<\/li>\n<li>Subacute (lasting 10 days to 4 weeks)<\/li>\n<li>Chronic (lasting longer than 12 weeks)<\/li>\n<li>Recurrent (multiple infections over the course of a year)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not all sinus symptoms are caused by infection. Allergies, structural issues, or chronic inflammation can produce similar symptoms, which is why evaluation is often helpful.[\/vc_column_text]<style type=\"text\/css\" >#b_yrcea5po23tnvtsl9rxo a{color:#F2C75C; background:#422902; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px;  margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; font-weight:900; border-radius:0px;}#b_yrcea5po23tnvtsl9rxo a:hover{color:#422902 ; background:#F2C75C ;}<\/style><div class=\"ta_left tf_btn_pos\" id=\"b_yrcea5po23tnvtsl9rxo\" ><a class=\"rd_normal_bt medium_rd_bt bt_icon_left   \" href=\"https:\/\/www.palmspringsbreathefree.com\/schedule-an-evaluation\/\" target=\"\"   ><i class=\"zo-calendar\" ><\/i><span>Schedule An Evaluation Today<\/span><\/a><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\" >#b_yrcea5po23tnvtsl9rxo i {color:#F2C75C;}#b_yrcea5po23tnvtsl9rxo a:hover i{color:#422902;}<\/style><style type='text\/css'> @font-face{font-family: 'zo'; src:url('http:\/\/palmspringsbreathefree.com\/palmspringsstage\/wp-content\/themes\/thefox\/includes\/4k-icons\/icons\/4k-icons-pack05\/icons\/fonts\/zo.eot'); src:url('http:\/\/palmspringsbreathefree.com\/palmspringsstage\/wp-content\/themes\/thefox\/includes\/4k-icons\/icons\/4k-icons-pack05\/icons\/fonts\/zo.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('http:\/\/palmspringsbreathefree.com\/palmspringsstage\/wp-content\/themes\/thefox\/includes\/4k-icons\/icons\/4k-icons-pack05\/icons\/fonts\/zo.woff') format('woff'), url('http:\/\/palmspringsbreathefree.com\/palmspringsstage\/wp-content\/themes\/thefox\/includes\/4k-icons\/icons\/4k-icons-pack05\/icons\/fonts\/zo.ttf') format('truetype'), url('http:\/\/palmspringsbreathefree.com\/palmspringsstage\/wp-content\/themes\/thefox\/includes\/4k-icons\/icons\/4k-icons-pack05\/icons\/fonts\/zo.svg#oi') format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;}#b_yrcea5po23tnvtsl9rxo .zo-calendar:before{font-family: 'zo'; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;}#b_yrcea5po23tnvtsl9rxo .zo-calendar:before{content: \"\\e80b\";}<\/style>\n[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full-width-content&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1750863482146{margin-bottom: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; animation=&#8221;rda_fadeInLeft&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1770215676972{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;background-color: #D9A7A099 !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;42px&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Common Sinus Infection Symptoms&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:35px|text_align:left|color:%23422902&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; font_size=&#8221;20&#8243; line_height=&#8221;30&#8243;]Patients seek sinus infection treatment for a variety of symptoms, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Facial pressure or pain (around the eyes, cheeks, or forehead)<\/li>\n<li>Nasal congestion or blockage<\/li>\n<li>Thick nasal drainage<\/li>\n<li>Reduced sense of smell<\/li>\n<li>Headaches that worsen when bending forward<\/li>\n<li>Postnasal drip<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue or general discomfort<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Symptoms and severity can vary from person to person, and not all symptoms indicate an active infection.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; animation=&#8221;rda_fadeInRight&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1770215508627{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;42px&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;When to See an ENT for a Sinus Infection&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:35px|text_align:left|color:%23422902&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; font_size=&#8221;20&#8243; line_height=&#8221;30&#8243;]You may consider seeing an ENT if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Symptoms last longer than 7\u201310 days<\/li>\n<li>Sinus infections return frequently<\/li>\n<li>Over-the-counter medications are no longer effective<\/li>\n<li>Symptoms interfere with sleep or daily activities<\/li>\n<li>You experience persistent facial pressure or nasal blockage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An ENT can help evaluate whether symptoms may be related to infection, inflammation, structural narrowing, or other contributing factors.
