Introduction
Sinusitis of the maxillary sinus may not cause daily dizziness and mental fogginess, but it could. If the condition is mild and antibiotics are taken as prescribed after onset, inflammation can be reduced and the condition well-controlled, in which case daily dizziness and mental fogginess generally do not occur. However, if the condition is severe and prolonged, and symptoms such as persistent headache, insomnia, and decreased appetite have already developed, it may lead to daily dizziness and mental fogginess.
Whether maxillary sinusitis causes daily dizziness and mental fogginess usually depends on the severity of the condition.
1. No
If the condition is mild and appropriate treatment is promptly initiated under a doctor's guidance—such as using antibiotics like levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules, ampicillin capsules, or amoxicillin capsules—to eliminate pathogens and reduce inflammation, the symptoms can be well controlled, and daily dizziness and mental fogginess generally do not occur. Additionally, maintaining regular sleep patterns, adequate nutrition, and emotional stability during treatment also typically prevents these symptoms.
2. Yes
If the condition is severe and has persisted for a long time, causing prolonged headaches, insomnia, decreased appetite, and resulting in reduced memory and concentration, as well as significant physical fatigue, it may lead to daily dizziness and mental fogginess.
