Chronic sinusitis is an infectious and inflammatory disease characterized by the involvement of the paranasal sinuses in the pathological process and does not pass for 12 weeks or more.

Chronic sinusitis is almost always associated with a pathological process in the nasal cavity and manifests itself as symptoms of rhinitis.

As a rule, the first signs of an illness occur against the background of common manifestations of a cold: an increase in temperature; weakness; malaise.

Moreover, any sinusitis, acute and chronic, has the following characteristic symptoms:.

- discharge of green-yellow, purulent sputum from the nasal cavity (sometimes mixed with blood);

- weakening of the sense of smell;

- severe nasal congestion (often only on one side);

- intense dry cough, usually appearing at night;

- sleep disturbance;

- headache and facial pain;

- redness of the skin areas that are located above the inflamed paranasal sinuses.

However, the symptoms of chronic sinusitis are somewhat different from the acute form of the disease.. In the chronic course of the disease, the signs of inflammation are less pronounced, but longer. Also, the manifestations of chronic sinusitis can almost completely disappear for a while, but then reappear.
