What causes sinus problems? Is it internal or caused by external factors? Sinus infections occur when fluid accumulates in the air-filled pockets in the face (sinuses). This fluid accumulation allows germs to grow. The majority of sinus infections are caused by viruses, but bacteria can also cause sinus infections. Anyone can get a sinus infection.
Sinusitis is more common in people who have nasal allergies, nasal polyps, asthma, or abnormal nose structures.
Smoking can also increase the chances of getting a sinus infection.Among the specific causes are:
A typical cold
Mold allergies, as well as nasal and seasonal allergies
Polyps
The septum is the cartilage line that separates your nose. A deviated septum is one that is not straight, causing it to be closer to the nasal passage on one side
A weakened immune system as a result of illness or medication
Is it aggravated when the weather changes?
A change in the weather isn't a big deal for most people. It entails switching their clothes and resetting their thermostat. However, for some unfortunate people, a change in the weather can cause severe sinus problems and migraine headaches.
