What Are the Causes of Recurring Sinus Infections?
Recurring sinus infections, also termed “chronic sinusitis”, affects more than 31 million people in America, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. The Mayo Clinic defines chronic sinus infections as any sinus infection that either lasts for more than eight weeks or is recurring over a period of time. Recurring sinus infections may be the result of nasal polyps, severe allergies, a deviated septum or facial trauma. A person with recurring sinus infections should see a doctor regularly to avoid possible complications.
