Major symptoms of sinus disease include facial pain and pressure, discolored nasal drainage, and nasal airway obstruction. Sometimes people inherit nasal and sinus problems linked to a common environmental sensitivity or a predisposing anatomical facial structure. Exposure to irritants such as pollution, chemicals, smoke at home, the outdoors, and chemicals or fumes in the workplace may also contribute to increased suffering. A variety of factors from sinusitis to nasal fractures to a deviated septum can necessitate advanced medical treatment.
