Exact function of sinuses is unknown; but it is believed that sinuses filter the inhaled air, regulatepressure within the nose, contribute to immune defense ,lighten the weight of skull, give resonance to voice ,absorb shock when blows to face and participate in facial growth.
Sinuses produce 0.5L to 1L mucus each day, which is emptied into nasal cavity; sinus contributes greatly to air filtration. Tiny cilia push mucus into nasal cavitythrough openings called Ostia.

What Cause  Sinusitis:

Sinusitis could be caused by anything that block and give blockage to airflow into the sinuses, mucus flow out of sinuses can be caused by:
  • Infection
  • Allergy
  • Irritants
  • Anatomical Obstruction
  • Foreign Bodies
  • Diseases
  • Dryness
  • Certain  Medication

Sinusitis Infections Symptoms:

Sinusitis is often followed by respiratory tract infections (RTI) causes by viruses (such as common cold and flu). Viral Infections does not directly cause symptoms, but it does inflame the Sinuses. In response to infection, our immune system sends WBC (White Blood Cells) or pus cells or mucus to the lining of nose, causing nasal passage to swell.
Since, the lining of nasal passages is continuous, sinus cavities also start swelling and causing to close ostia. As a result, mucus becomes trapped behind the sinuses and air flow slows or stops. Moist and inactive mucus allows fungus and bacteria to grow which results to infection.Regular mucus clearance keeps sinus hollow  and sterile(free from bacteria).
Effective emptying depends on:
  • Healthy Cilia
  • Thin fluid mucus
  • Passable Ostia
Any change in these factors could hinder mucus clearance and lead to sinus inflammation infection. Health of sinuses depends on ventilation and mucusclearance. This inflammation ranges from mild to severe and it could be uncomfortable. Some common Sinus infection symptoms are:
  • Tenderness in the face
  • Aching behind the eyes
  • Pain, Fever
  • Difficulty in breathing through nose
  • Headache

  • Air Pollution
  • Tobacco smoke
  • Car Exhaust

  • Household Chemicals
  • Pesticides

Medications:

Dryness impairs cilia and mucus flow, treated through Antihistamines. A prolonged therapy of antibiotics needed to cure the Sinusitis but it involves threat of side effects.
