Causes of Sinusitis. Sinusitis (inflammation of the sinus chambers) is typically caused by a virus when affected by the common cold. Boosting your immune system will help to combat this problem directly by stimulating the immune system and making it more difficult for the virus to attack the cells.
Fungi, Bacteria and viruses can be a cause of sinusitis. Any infection of the nasal passages that cause it to swell can affect the opening of the sinuses. If the ostium (opening) is blocked, air and mucus secretions collect and cause pressure on the sinus cavity walls. This can also cause our cilia (hair like cells responsible for the removal of mucus) not to work properly and is the main reason why we have pain during sinusitis. Mucus is an excellent culture medium for bacteria and if the mucus is not cleared quickly, bacteria can infect the sinus and an abscess may develop.
