Sinusitis is an infection of the sinuses- it can be caused by viruses or bacteria. Allergies can also cause sinusitis symptoms. The sinuses are hollow areas in the bones of the face and forehead. The most common sinuses infected are the maxillary sinuses, located above the teeth on both sides of the nose, or the frontal sinuses, located in the skull behind the eyebrow area. There are several other sinuses in the face/nose region. Symptoms include pain in the area of the infected sinus ('sinus headache'), persistant drainage from the nose, and can also include fever, sore throat, and persistant cough (from post nasal drip). Viral sinusitis is usually self limited, and only requires symptomatic treatment, but bacterial sinusitis frequently requires antibiotic treatment as well. A Family Practice, Internist, or ENT specialist can diagnose the condition and treat appropriately.
There are other more rare types, including yeast and fungal sinusitis, but these generally occur in special populations, such as people whose immune systems are compromised, or occasionally in a person using a steroid type nasal spray. The treatment for these is generally an oral antifungal medication.
Sinusitis is brought on by a number of different factors. Here is a list of some of the causes of sinusitis:

Fungal sinusitis will require surgery to clean out the sinuses. Then, a relatively long course of a very strong antifungal medication called amphotericin B is given through a needle in the vein (intravenously).
Acute sinusitis includes inflammation typically due to an infection that lasts under four weeks. Clinical therapy includes antibiotics, and nasal steroids. Allergic rhinitis is different than sinusitis although it may be treated with nasal steroids.
Sinusitis is not caused by mental illness. Mental illness can be caused by sinusitis infection.
Eye pain can be a symptom of allergies. Other causes of eye pain are sinusitis, scratches on the eye, or an infection.
