Sinusitis, also known as rhinosinusitis, is the inflammation of the inner lining of your sinuses. Our facial skeleton has four pairs of sinuses: maxillary, ethmoidal, frontal, and sphenoidal sinuses. These sinuses are lined with a thin mucous membrane that performs various functions. When this inner lining is irritated due to an infectious or non-infectious cause, the mucous membrane produces excessive mucous discharge. This is the primary reason which results in the major symptoms of sinusitis. These symptoms can be short-lasting or long-lasting depending on the pathogenic cause and your immune system.
