Sinusitis Seriousness

We've discussed baseball players and golfers battling sinus infections or trying to play while they have them, but in Steamboat Springs Colorado they have a story that highlights the seriousness of sinus infections. The Steamboat Pilot has a story about local rugby leagues and makes mention that their biggest tournament will be in honor of a player who died from complications due to a sinus infection.While a sinus infection is rarely a fatal condition, this is a reminder that they should always be taken seriously. Sinus infections can affect breathing and that can cause a lot of problems. Treating a sinus infection seriously and making sure that you avoid strenuous activity and take appropriate medications is important. Visiting a specialist when symptoms persist is always a good idea. A doctor can help determine a treatment to get rid of the infection as well as provide ways to alleviate the often painful symptoms associated with sinus infections.
