Running Time: 0:45
Diagnosis:
- Acute Bacterial Sinusitis
Highlights:
- Mucous flowing out of sinuses into nasal cavity and pharynx
Keep in Mind:
- Symptoms from a viral upper respiratory infection and a bacterial sinus infection are often very similar
- In most instances, the time course of the illness is most important, as a bacterial infection usually is present if symptoms persist beyond 10 days, or worsen after 5-7 days
