Key Insights
In common usage, "sinus" usually refers to the paranasal sinuses, which are air cavities in the cranial bones, especially those near the nose and connecting to it. Fluid buildup in the sinuses can allow germs to grow, leading to a sinus infection. Sinusitis is usually caused by a virus and often lasts even after other upper respiratory symptoms are gone. Your sinuses are four pairs of air-filled interconnected cavities located between your eyes and nose. What goes on inside them — a microscopic battle between infection- and inflammation-causing antigens and the body’s defense forces — can have a serious impact on your health and comfort.
