Pain in the Nasal Sinuses

Description:

Pain in the nasal sinuses is often associated with sinusitis or sinus infections, causing inflammation in the sinuses. This type of pain is typically felt in the forehead, cheeks, or around the eyes and may be accompanied by pressure, congestion, and difficulty breathing through the nose.

Causes:

• Sinusitis, which can cause inflammation and infection in the sinus cavities.
• Allergies, leading to sinus congestion and inflammation.
• Cold or respiratory infections that can affect the sinuses and lead to pain.
• Nasal polyps, which can block the sinuses and cause discomfort.
• Environmental factors like air pollution or smoke.

Treatment for sinus pain depends on the cause and may include medications such as decongestants, antibiotics, or nasal sprays, as well as lifestyle changes to reduce exposure to irritants.
