What Causes Sinus Infections?

Sinus infections are a health issue that can be unpleasant. Symptoms can include nasal congestion, sore throat, postnasal drip, fever, and headache. If you think that you have a sinus infection, you must get the proper treatment. The only way to ensure that you get the correct treatment is to know the cause of your sinus infection. Here are some causes of sinus infections:


  • Colds
  • Seasonal Allergies

When you visit your ENT doctor, they will run a diagnostic test that will determine the cause of your sinus infection. After, they will prescribe you the appropriate medication. This will help you experience relief from your symptoms and treat your infection.
