AI overview

Sinusitis, commonly called a sinus infection, is an inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the sinuses that causes symptoms like thick nasal mucus, nasal congestion, facial pain or pressure, loss of smell, and sometimes fever. It matters because these symptoms can significantly affect how people feel and function day-to-day.
