Acute maxillary sinusitis - what does this mean

Acute maxillary sinusitis is an inflammation of the maxillary sinuses, which are located on either side of the nose. it usually occurs when bacteria or a virus infects the sinuses, causing them to become inflamed and filled with fluid. symptoms can include facial pain, pressure, headache, nasal congestion, and a yellow or green discharge from the nose.

What happens during the disease - acute maxillary sinusitis

Acute maxillary sinusitis is an inflammation of the maxillary sinus, usually caused by a bacterial or viral infection. it is typically caused by blockage of the sinus openings, which can be due to infection, allergies, or a structural abnormality. this blockage prevents proper drainage of mucus from the sinus, leading to inflammation and infection. symptoms include facial pain or pressure, nasal congestion, and a green or yellow nasal discharge. treatment typically involves antibiotics, decongestants, and nasal irrigation.
