Sinusitis is when the sinuses (the hollow spaces in the skull around the nose) become swollen or infected. This can happen after a cold or allergies. The swelling blocks the sinuses, causing mucus to build up, which can lead to symptoms like:

• A stuffy or runny nose

• Pain or pressure around the face (cheeks, forehead, or eyes)

• Coughing, especially at night

• Headaches

• Fever

Sinusitis can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or allergies. It often improves on its own, but sometimes medicine is needed if the infection is more severe.

Rhinitis is inflammation in the nose, causing a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes. It can be caused by allergies (like pollen) or infections (like a cold). Treatment includes antihistamines and/or nasal sprays.

Ear infections are infections that affect different parts of the ear, usually caused by bacteria or viruses. They can happen in the outer ear (otitis externa), middle ear (otitis media), or inner ear (less common). Symptoms of ear infections include:

• Ear pain or discomfort

• Difficulty hearing

• Fluid draining from the ear

• Fever

Ear infections are common and often clear up on their own, but sometimes antibiotics or other treatments including microsuction are needed, especially if the infection is severe or recurrent.

Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing sounds, like ringing, buzzing, or whistling, in the ears when no external sound is present. It can be caused by things like ear infections, loud noises, or age-related hearing loss. Tinnitus can be annoying, but it's usually not a sign of a serious problem. In some cases, it improves over time, but if it’s persistent or bothersome, treatment options like sound therapy or counseling may help.

Hearing loss is when someone has trouble hearing sounds clearly or at all. It can happen gradually or suddenly and may affect one or both ears. Causes can include aging, loud noises, ear infections, or injury. Symptoms include difficulty hearing conversations, needing to turn up the volume on the TV, or not hearing certain sounds. Hearing loss can be mild, moderate, or severe, and in many cases, hearing aids or other treatments can help.
