Fingernails to Diagnose Sinusitis?

My Fox Philly has a brief story about how fingernails can indicate different ailments. The article references several changes to fingernail shape and color that may be indicative of anything from iron deficiency to liver problems. Included is mention that yellow fingernails can be indicative of lung problems or sinusitis.While facial pain, runny nose, and difficulty breathing are more specific symptoms of sinus infection this is interesting because of how it illustrates the broader effect of any illness on our bodies. The problem maybe in the sinuses but those sinuses are part of the complex systems that make up our bodies. When sinuses aren't working properly it can effect other parts of that system. If you're noticing any sinusitis symptoms, including yellowed fingernails, seek treatment and for persistent symptoms contact our office for an appointment.
