and one might experience throbbing facial pain or a
headache.
According to researchers at Mayo Clinic, acute
sinusitis is usually caused by nothing more serious
than the common cold. The good news is that unless a
bacterial infection develops, most cases resolve within
a week to 10 days.
However, persistent sinusitis can lead to serious
infections and other complications. Sinusitis that lasts more than 12 weeks despite medical treatment is called chronic
sinusitis. In some cases, a bacterial infection can develop. A person may also be at increased risk of getting sinusitis if
they have hay fever or some other allergic condition that affects sinus tissues.
Symptoms of acute sinusitis often include drainage of a thick, yellow or greenish discharge from the nose or down the
back of the throat, as well as nasal congestion, tenderness, swelling and pressure around the eyes or forehead that

A member of India's Hindu nationalist ruling party offered a $1.5 million bounty for
anyone who beheads the lead actress and the director of a yet-to-be released Bolly-
wood film that's sparked controversy for depicting a romance between a Hindu queen
and Muslim ruler. The film "Padmavati" was set to be in theaters on Dec. 1 and has
caused a firestorm over its alleged handling of the relationship. Suraj Pal Amu, a
Bharatiya Janata Party leader from the northern state of Haryana, offered the bounty
against actress Deepika Padukone and filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali.The film's
producers postponed the release of the movie the same day. Speaking at a public
rally, Amu also said the film would not be allowed to be released at all, local media
reported.The movie "Padmavati" is based on a 16th century Sufi epic poem,
"Padmavat," a fictional account of a brave and beautiful Rajput queen who chose to
kill herself rather than be captured by the Muslim sultan of Delhi, Allaudin Khilji.
