profession. It is known by various different names: dental orthopedics, dentofacial orthopedics, cranio-mandibular orthopedics, and jaw orthopedics.
Sinus infections often follow a cold and cause pain and pressure in your head and face. Sinusitis can be either acute (sudden) or chronic (long-term). With chronic sinusitis, the infection or inflammation does not completely go away for 12 weeks or more.
If the symptoms last for less than four weeks it is termed acute, between 4-12 weeks it is subacute, and greater than 12 weeks it is considered chronic sinusitis. It sounds like your infection has lasted about two weeks so is an acute infection. Acute causes included bacterial and viral (most common) infections. About 40% of cases of acute infection improve spontaneously without the use of antibiotics. 98% of viral induced sinusitis improve without treatment.
