Pain in the Sinus Area

Description:

Pain in the sinus area refers to discomfort or sharp pain in the regions around the sinuses, usually in the forehead, cheeks, nose, or between the eyes. This type of pain is often associated with inflammation or infection of the sinuses (sinusitis).

Common Causes:

• Sinusitis (inflammation or infection of the sinuses).
• Allergies (such as hay fever causing sinus congestion).
• Common cold or flu (leading to sinus congestion).
• Nasal polyps (growths inside the nasal passages that can block sinuses).
• Deviated septum (misalignment of the nasal septum affecting sinus drainage).

If the pain is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms like fever, thick nasal discharge, or difficulty breathing, it is recommended to seek medical advice for proper treatment.
