About Chronic Sinus Disease
Chronic sinus disease is a condition in which sinuses become swollen and inflamed, leading to difficulty breathing, facial pain, headache and loss of sense of smell and taste. The condition is often misdiagnosed as allergies or a “never ending cold” and greatly impacts a person’s quality of life.
