Some swelling of your sinuses following a cold or flu is common, and usually resolves within 2 to 3 weeks. However, if your symptoms aren’t going away, Pharmacy First Bristol is here to help. 

Recognising the Symptoms

If you’re suffering from sinusitis, symptoms may include facial pain, a blocked nose, reduced smell, discoloured mucus, sinus headaches, fever and toothaches. In children, sinusitis may present as irritability, feeding difficulties and mouth breathing.
