" influenza " has been on the rise recently, and many people have been infected.

But some people had a cold and fever for a week, had a runny nose but it lasted for more than half a month...

And they also had headaches, brain heat, low-grade fever from time to time, and their heads were always dizzy.

If you have encountered this situation recently, you should be more vigilant to see if you have " sinusitis "!

Sinusitis refers to purulent inflammation of the sinus mucosa.

Sinuses are four pairs of cavities located in the skull, which have the functions of reducing the weight of the skull and producing sound resonance.

"Sinusitis" often occurs after a cold, because mucus in the nasal cavity increases during a cold and remains in the sinuses, causing obstruction, inflammation and bacterial growth.

So, how to distinguish between a cold and sinusitis? Mainly look at three points:

1. Look at the color and shape of the nasal mucus

Cold

If the nasal mucus is clear watery at first, and after a few days, the nasal mucus gradually turns yellow and thick, it is a cold.

Sinusitis

If the mucus is thick and yellow-green , it is most likely sinusitis.

2. Check whether there is pain and the location of the pain

Cold

When you have a cold, you will often have the symptoms of dry nose, sore throat, , and in severe cases, you will feel general weakness.

Sinusitis

When you have sinusitis, you will feel swelling and pain around the forehead, eyes and cheeks. Sore throat is rare, and there will be no "whole body discomfort" feeling.

3. Look at the onset and duration of the disease

Colds

Colds may occur at any time, and generally lasts about and will be cured.

Sinusitis

Sinusitis occurs over a longer period of time. Acute sinusitis lasts from 2 weeks to 3 months , and chronic sinusitis lasts for more than 3 months.

Based on the above factors, if your symptoms of runny nose, nasal congestion, and cough are not relieved after more than 10 days after having a cold, and you also have a headache, you should highly suspect sinusitis!
