Ear, Nose & Throat Disorders Answer A267 Posted: 02-05-06 10:54am


Sinus inflammation (sinusitis) can cause shortness of breath and the other reactions that you have described. You can immediately visit an ENT-specialist. You will probably be given an antibiotic and corticosteroids prescribed by the doctor. You can also use decongestive nose-drops 3 times per day but not more than 5 days. Warming the sinuses with an infrared-light lamp is also very useful when you are experiencing cold.
