Are Sinus Infections Contagious?

Are sinus infections contagious? Yes. So most sinus infections are actually viral, meaning you catch a virus like a cold or something like that, it gets into your nose, it causes blockage of the drainage pathways that drain from your sinuses into your nose, and you start having pressure and pain and drainage. So if you're not washing your hands or if someone touches one of the tissues that you're blowing into, they can absolutely get your sinus infection.

Other sinus infections are bacterial. And that's when the bacteria causes an infection in your sinus. These are a little bit less contagious than viruses. But you can still pass them from people to people because again, if someone touches your mucus or your tissues that have the bacteria or you're not washing your hands, again, you can pass it on.

The easiest way to treat this is to see an allergist or an ENT to try to fix your sinus infections, and if you have allergies, you can get allergy tests and do immunotherapy.

I have two days of not sleeping . My nose is so clogged that I tried everything to breath but with no luck. At the moment of writing this message is 5:45 am and I’m trying to be able to breath to sleep. Is there something I can do? Do I need to visit an doctor?

I get sinus infections all the time, but my doctor refuses to give me an antibiotic. So I’m using essential oil to get rid of the infection, it’s antibiotic recipes, I put it in a capsule and take it for 7 days and it clears it up for a month or so!
The reason I know I have a sinus infection is that my body feels wore out, and I feel weak, out of breath, breathing He’s got through my mouth, constantly sneezing.
I sleep all day and can’t wake up..
