As more kids get sick with colds and other viruses, it's important for parents to recognize symptoms of sinus infections because early detection is key.
“Each of those viruses by themselves cause inflammation, so all of your immune cells get revved up, and you start making lots of mucus,” says Goudy. That’s why you become a stuffed up, snotty mess when you get a bad cold., which can become severe if left untreated.
Recurrent sinus infections can also be a result of enlarged or inflamed adenoids, tissue located behind the nose that can block off the flow of mucus, Goudy adds.A sinus infection typically starts out with a viral infection , which can cause sneezing, coughing, a runny nose, aches, and a fever, says Goudy. The virus is what causes the initial inflammation and buildup of mucus, which can then become infected and lead to a sinus infection.
A sinus infection can also cause a bad smell and taste in the mouth, says Goudy, which are closely linked. Certain bacteria have a foul smell, Goudy adds, especially anaerobic bacteria which causes many sinus infections. A sinus infection can also lead to changes in mental status, says Goudy, including fatigue and irritability.
