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.
How Long Does Sinusitis Last? Most uncomplicated viral sinus infections improve on their own within 7 to 10 days. Acute bacterial sinusitis can also improve on its own; however, antibiotics will speed up the recovery and decrease the risk of complications in children. Symptoms usually begin to improve within one to two days after antibiotics have been started.
