While growing up the grammar school nurse use to tell me that I had a cold. During those days, nobody really doubted a school nurse. Her advice was highly trusted amongst the students. I could still remember how stuffy my nose was. If it wasn’t stuffy, it was draining.

By the age of 10, I started to question what the nurse had told me. “What is going on here? How could a cold actually last this long?” I finally got a different opinion from my junior high nurse. This other school nurse confirmed that I was having symptoms of allergies.

My parents were clueless when it came to over-the-counter medicine. My mom bought some, but it wasn’t the non-drowsy kind for sure. I could still recall how drowsy I was during school time. I could recall that my eight grade teacher put me aside and asked me if I was consuming illegal drugs and wanted to talk to my parents.

That’s when my allergies and sinus problems started to elevate. Here are 2 types of sinusitis (sinus infections). Acute and chronic are the 2 kinds of sinus infections.

Here’s the difference:

Acute Sinus Infection Symptoms

* Mucus drainage down the back of the throat
* Fever is common
* Facial pain or soreness
* Pressure around the sinus cavities
* Nasal discharge
* Vision problems
* Headaches
* Nasal congestion
* Pain behind the eyes

Chronic Sinusitis Symptoms

* Bad breath
* Prolonged facial pain
* Chronic nasal discharge
* Pain below the eyes
* Prolonged headaches
* Pressure across or above your nasal passages
* Chronic sore throat
* Toothaches

When Will These Sinus Infection Problems End?

There’s man similarities between the 2 types of symptoms. The main difference is how long they occur and the severity of the symptoms. Acute sinus infections can last for several weeks. As for chronic sinus infections, these typically last for a much longer period of time.
