There are empty pockets of spaces within our face called sinuses. Normally, mucus are produced regularly from the sinuses that drains into our nasal cavity. However there maybe certain illness or conditions that prevents this normal drainage of mucus out of the sinuses.
When fluid builds up in this air-filled pockets, germs can grow in them. When the sinuses becomes infected, sinusitis occurs.

Risk factors of sinusitis includes
a prior upper respiratory tract infection
pre-existing allergic rhinitis
structural problem with the sinuses such as growths on the lining of the nose or sinus known as nasal polyps
enlarged adenoids
a weakened immune system
smoking or second hand smoke
In general, anything that can obstruct the drainage of the sinuses can result in mucus collection within the sinus , resulting in sinusitis

Common symptoms of sinusitis includes
persistent runny and stuffy nose that may last more than a week
thick greenish or yellowish mucus
facial pain or pressure
persistent tiredness
fever
headache
mucus dripping down the back of the throat , medically we call this post nasal drip
cough and sore throat

If you develop these symptoms, please see your medical provider right away. Diagnosis of sinusitis can be clinical one based on your history and physical examinations. Some investigations that doctors can order to confirm the diagnosis includes
sinus xray : where we can see some haziness within the sinuses
CT scans : again visualising the haziness within the sinuses

Treatment involves
Antibiotics in most cases to kill the bacteria and reduce the inflammation
mucolytics like fluimicil or Vasican to allow them to flow out of the sinuses more easily
nasal decongestant
to reduce the obstruction of the drainage of the sinuses.
pain relievers
And when all else fails, referral to the ENT specialists may be necessary in some cases for surgical treatment.

Some home remedy that you can also try includes
drinking warm or hot water
over the counter nasal decongestant and saline nasal flush
breathe in steam From a bowl of hot water or hot shower
sleeping on your side or prop yourself up with a pillow to breathe better
eat a healthy diet with lots of vegetables and fruits

Despite early and prompt medical treatment , sinusitis tends to need time to heal. And it can sometimes take as long as 2 to 4 weeks for recovery.
