Changing weather and seasonal allergies can affect everyone. With the current complicated development of COVID-19, many people cannot help but confuse common sinusitis with COVID-19, mainly because of the similarity in symptoms. It's important to make a clear distinction between these two conditions to protect yourself and those around you.
The sinuses are hollow "air sacs" located in the skull. Sometimes due to an infection, bacterial or viral infection, the sinus tissues can become inflamed. The symptoms of a sinus infection are very similar to those of COVID-19. Patients with sinus and COVID-19 both have the same runny nose, stuffy nose, fever, fatigue, sore throat, headache.
However, people with sinusitis also have some different symptoms, which are not recorded in people infected with COVID-19, namely toothache, pain in the sinuses in the cheekbones, inside the eye, ... mouth, decreased sense of smell, abnormally colored mucus, postnasal drip. In particular, the most noticeable is the feeling of pain in the sinuses combined with a runny and stuffy nose.
Meanwhile, the distinct symptoms of COVID-19 to distinguish it from normal sinusitis include difficulty breathing, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of smell and taste. If you notice you have these signs, you should immediately notify the nearest medical facility for monitoring and appropriate treatment.
Also, be aware that the symptoms of a sinus infection often come on suddenly. Meanwhile, symptoms of COVID-19 will worsen over time, usually within 2-14 days of contracting the virus. Sinusitis mainly forms after you have had a cough or cold for a long time, more common in the cold season. Meanwhile, COVID-19 does not depend on the weather, can spread at any time of the year.
