• Sinusitis is a swelling or an inflammation of the
  tissue lining the nasal passage (sinuses).
  Sinuses that are healthy are filled with air.
  However, when the sinuses are blocked, they are
  filled with mucus, where germs might grow and
  cause infection.
• Conditions that may cause blockage in sinuses
  includes
• Common cold
• Allergic rhinitis, inflammation of the sinuses
• A shift in the cavity of the nose, or Deviated
  septum
• Nasal polyps, small growths in the nasal passage
  lining.

  usually starts off with symptoms of common cold
  such as stuffy, runny nose and facial pain.
  Chronic sinusitis may last for 12 weeks or more.

What is tonsillitis? There are two oval-shaped
pads of tissue at the back of the throat known as
tonsils. Its function is to trap germs that may
otherwise enter the airway and cause infection.
Another function of tonsils is production of
antibodies that fights infection. However,
sometimes the tonsils get infected themselves.
And due to infection, it becomes swollen and
inflamed. This condition is known as tonsillitis.
