Symptom #9: Chronic Sinus Infections
While it has been assumed that sinus infections are only caused by bacteria, recent research shows that some of the chronic sinus infections are a result of fungal infections including those by yeasts. A study carried out by Mayo Clinic found that 96 percent of the sampled 210 patients had fungal infections. This suggests that sinus problems may be symptoms of yeast infections, especially Candida.
Extended or regular use of antibiotics could be an important factor in the continued sinusitis. This occurs because, while antibiotics are meant to kill harmful bacteria, they also kill beneficial bacteria which normally keep harmful organisms like yeasts within and on the body in check.
