What are Sinus Issues?
Sinus problems, including sinusitis, occur when the air-filled spaces in your nose become inflamed or infected. This can affect both adults and children (aged one year and over), leading to a range of uncomfortable symptoms. Whether triggered by allergies, a cold, or an infection, sinus problems can significantly impact your day-to-day life, causing headaches, facial pain, and difficulty breathing.
Common
Causes of Sinusitis
Sinusitis and other sinus-related conditions are often caused by:
- Viral infections (colds or flu)
- Allergies (e.g., pollen, dust)
- Bacterial infections
- Nasal polyps or blockages
- Environmental irritants (smoke, pollution)
- Structural issues (e.g., deviated septum)
What Are the
Symptoms of Sinusitis?
Sinusitis or other sinus-related conditions can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
- Nasal congestion or a blocked nose
- Pain and pressure around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead
- Thick, yellow or green nasal discharge
- Decreased sense of smell
- Persistent cough, especially at night
- Facial tenderness and headaches
Eligibility for Pharmacy First Service – Acute Sinusitis Assessment
Our Acute Sinusitis Assessment Service is designed to support individuals experiencing symptoms of sinusitis. To ensure safe and appropriate care, eligibility is determined by the following criteria:
Inclusion

Exclusion
- Individuals under 12 years of age
- Pregnancy or suspected pregnancy in individuals under 16 years of age

Sinusitis is swelling of the sinuses, usually caused by an infection. The sinuses are small, air-filled spaces behind the cheekbones and forehead that connect to the inside of the nose. If you meet the inclusion criteria, our pharmacy team is here to assist you. If you fall under the exclusion criteria, we recommend consulting your GP for further advice and care.
