It can be acute or chronic, and it can be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, allergies, or even an autoimmune reaction.
Although uncomfortable and painful, sinusitis often goes away without medical intervention. However, if symptoms last more than 7 to 10 days, or if there is a fever or a bad headache, you should see your doctor.
Symptoms
Symptoms vary, depending on the length and severity of the infection.
If the patient has two or more of the following symptoms and thick, green or yellow nasal discharge, they may be diagnosed with acute sinusitis.
-facial pain and pressure,
-blocked nose,
-congestion,
-nasal discharge,
-tiredness,
-reduced sense of smell,
-cough,
-fever,
-halitosis, or foul-smelling breath,
-toothache,
-headache.
If these symptoms continue for 12 weeks or longer, the doctor may diagnose chronic sinusitis.
Causes
Sinusitis can stem from various factors, but it always results from fluid becoming trapped in the sinuses. This fuels the growth of germs.
Viruses: In adults, 90 percent cases of sinusitis result from a virus
Bacteria: In adults, 1 case in 10 is caused by bacteria
Pollutants: Chemicals or irritants in the air can trigger a buildup of mucus
Fungi: The sinuses either react to fungi in the air, as in allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS), or they are invaded by fungi, as in chronic indolent sinusitis.

HOME REMEDIES FOR CHRONIC SINUSITIS
1- St. John's Wort Tea And Oil: Consult your doctor first, if you will use St. John's wort. If you have a serious condition, it is best to consult with a doctor for help. Some conditions might be warning signs of other illnesses that only a medical professional can accurately diagnose.

2- Bay Leaf (Daphne) Tea: Bay leaf tea can help open up your nasal passages and make sleeping more comfortable. This may allow you to get better quality sleep. Bay leaf tea is my favorite tea because of this feature. You can drink this tea 1 hour before bedtime and you can apply this cure simultaneously with other cures.
About 1 after drinking this tea, the post-nasal drip and nasal discharge stops and your nasal passages are opened.
Ingredients
-1 Cup of water
-1 teapot
-3 or 4 bay leaves (daphne)
Directions
-Pour 2 cup of water into the teapot and boil the water.
-Place 3 or 4 bay leaves.
-Let your tea steep for 8-10 minutes. Then strain and drink. If you want you can add honey. (2 cups per day, morning and evening)
3- Nasal Irrigation: Nasal irrigation is very effective for relieving nasal congestion and irritation. This will soothe your sinuses and flush away bacteria, irritants, allergens. Also Nasal irrigation can help to moisten the mucous membranes.
Ingredients
-1 squirt bottle
-1 cup of sterilized water
-3 tsp of non-iodized salt
-1 tsp of baking soda
Directions
This is a recipe of The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAAI):
Sterilize water, by boiling tap water for three to five minutes, then cooling it until it is lukewarm.
Mix 3 teaspoons of non-iodized salt (iodide may irritate your nasal lining) and 1 teaspoons of baking soda with 1 cup of sterilized water.
There are several ways to get the water into the passages behind your nose. You can use a squirt bottle, a pump designed for this purpose, or a vessel with a long spout called a neti pot.
You simply fill the device with the solution, then lean over your sink (or, even easier, do it standing in the shower). Tilt your head sideways with your forehead and chin roughly level. Breathing through your mouth, place the container into your upper nostril and allow the water to drain out naturally.
