The cold that won't go away probably isn't a cold anymore. Dr. Richard Mabry, professor of otorhinolaryngology at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, says sinusitis begins with a cold, an allergy or an obstruction that causes the narrow passages between the sinus cavities and the nose to swell. Instead, the mucus becomes home to infectious bacteria. See your doctor if you suffer from three or more of the symptoms.
Antibiotics are the only weapons that successfully can attack the bacteria that cause sinusitis.
