Sinusitis:

Inflammation of the sinuses may be caused by allergies, dental problems, viral or bacterial infection. The sinuses are cavities above the upper jaws and above the eyes. When the membranes become swollen, they no longer drain, and a negative pressure system results causing pain. The sinuses then fill up with mucous exerting more pressure on the face. It is important to find the cause of the sinusitis to treat it appropriately. Most sinusitis develops as a result of an upper respiratory infection. With chronic cases of sinusitis, Dr. Metcalfe always looks for the possibility of an allergic cause.
