A person suffering from this condition may be subjected to fever, nausea, vomiting and sometimes diarrhea. The infected part of the skin becomes swollen, red in color, it forms blisters and severe pain is felt when touched.

If the patient is not attended to in a given period of time, the disease may cause death.

Caldwell Luc operation is another sinusitis surgery that can be performed in order to treat the sinusitis condition. This surgery helps to relieve chronic sinusitis by trying to improve the drainage system of the maxillary sinus that is situated just below the eyes. Since the maxillary can be reached by entering through the upper jaw just above one of the second molar teeth, this surgical procedure helps to create a window that connects the nose and the maxillary sinus. In turn, the maxillary sinus drainage is improved and sinusitis is in the end treated.
