More and more cases of sinusitis are coming to the fore with every passing day. Sinusitis is caused by the inflammation or infection of sinuses that are basically air cavities located within the facial skull around the nose. A person can suffer from acute sinusitis that lasts for less than a month or subacute sinusitis that lasts between 4 to 8 weeks or chronic sinusitis that can continue for over 8 weeks at a time.
