Sinuses are air filled spaces in our skull. I am sure you know of someone who is having sinusitis! It is such a common disease.

Sinuses get infected from organisms from the nasal cavity and throat mainly. After common cold like illness the sinuses may get blocked and the secretions collected and may get infected. this may be predisposed by deformities within the nose like crooked nasal septum.

Mainly sinusitis is treated with drugs. But in some patients especially those who have recurrent problems, surgery may be needed.
