What is sinusitis disease?
Dr RVS Kumar of the ENT department at Manipal Hospital, Bhubaneswar, explains that allergic sinusitis is an allergy caused by dust particles and pet dander. This usually includes all symptoms such as sneezing, blocked nose, itchy, and watery eyes. There are different reasons behind the appearance of these allergies, of which climate change and pollution are important factors. If this disease is not treated in time, it can become a chronic infection. Children who are exposed to this allergy for a long time develop swelling in the nasal passages. Due to this swelling, the risk of infection increases and major complications can arise.

Allergic rhinitis causes inflammation, which can block the sinuses, creating an environment for bacterial growth and causing sinus infections and frequent sneezing and coughing. Constant coughing causes many problems. Ear infections usually occur in young children due to the accumulation of substances in the Eustachian tube caused by nasal allergies.
