Sinus fungal infect?: You should get yourself checked by your doctor as you may have fungal infection fungal sinusitis occurs when fungi organism like mold invade your sinus cavities. These organisms are around in our surroundings we inhale them daily , but if immune system is suppressed they can cause infection in the sinuses. Sometimes you can have mixed bacterial and fungus infection in sinuses. See yourmd/get tested.
