Sinusitis  can happen in any individual  through lesser or larger degree  even when you  have  a  bit of  a  colds,  but having  said  that chronic sinusitis is not normal, recurring  sinusitis  is escalating and   can have  serious   portrayals. We  have  noticed  that many people who have  intractable  sinusitis  also has  recurrent  sore  throats, infection in  the  throat, chronic  tonsillitis chronic bronchitis and even asthma. So   treating sinusitis alleviates  the patient  from the   frequency and the    severity of  the lower respiratory  diseases also. So this is  one of the common causes,   chronic sinusitis that is caused  by the  polyps can sometimes  cause  breach of the bone, as a  result of  which  you  can have polyps  in the  nasal cavity    where  the sinus  is  coming and  going laterally   even into the orbit, punching the  eyeballs oewnmtim the  sinuses can have infection caused  by fungi that can erode the bone and all the nearby structures can get affected. So sinusitis from the  fugal causes  can cause  rupture of the  bone. So the sinusitis  has  to be treated  aggressively and  the patient  has to be on regular  follow up and   ensure  that the patient does  the postoperative toileting of  the  nose, which is the main  stay of treatment  after the surgeries.
