Sinus problems are difficult to identify. They can be caused by environmental scenarios, such as dry climates, air pollution, indoor pollution, and excess pollen. They can also be caused by irritants such as cigarettes, perfumes, colognes, and body washes. They can even be caused by structural issues in your body or sinuses, nutritional deficiencies, or a weakened immune system.
