COMPLAINTS ABOUT OUR EARS, NOSE AND THROAT (ENT) ARE USUALLY LOOKED AFTER BY YOUR GP OR AN ENT SPECIALIST. COMMON SYMPTOMS INCLUDE HEARING LOSS, GLUE EAR, SINISUTIS AND TINNITUS


PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS - ENT

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucous membranes (or lining) of one or more of the paranasal sinuses. Acute sinusitis is common and is often associated with a viral or bacterial infection in the nose or throat. When the sinus openings become blocked the cavities fill with fluid, producing pain and pressure. Symptoms include pain on moving the head, fever, fatigue and postnasal drainage. Most patients who suffer an acute attack of sinusitis get better by themselves without antibiotics and if they do take antibiotics the majority of patients have no further problems.
