What Are the Symptoms of Sinusitis?

The symptoms of sinusitis vary for each person, and depend greatly on the age of the individual. The following are the most common symptoms of sinusitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently.

Younger children:

  • Runny nose that lasts longer than seven to 10 days. The discharge is usually thick green or yellow, but can also be clear.
  • Nighttime cough
  • Occasional daytime cough
  • Swelling around the eyes
  • Children usually do not complain of headaches if less than 5 years of age

Older children and adults:

  • Runny nose or cold symptoms that last longer than seven to 10 days
  • Complaints of drip in the throat from the nose
  • Headaches
  • Facial discomfort
  • Bad breath
  • Cough
  • Fever
  • Sore throat
  • Swelling around the eye, worse in the morning

The symptoms of sinusitis may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult a physician for diagnosis.
