Yes, Chronic: Inflammatory sinus disease is not uncommon. This is a complex topic that may include bacterial and fungal infections, allergic inflammation, super antigens, and other chronic inflammatory conditions. Eustachian tube dysfunction can also be chronic for years or even a lifetime under certain conditions.
