What are symptoms of sinus infection? I can’t read of this cold and I experienced severe nasal congestion and facial pain. Someone told me that it could be sinus infection. Is it possible? What causes it?
Symptoms of sinusitis are: nasal congestion, postnasal drip, facial pain/headache, ear fullness/ear clogging etc. I have chronic sinusitis for years. The most common situation occurs when a cold causes swelling and congestion of the lining of the nose. This may result in obstruction of the relatively small sinus openings, decreasing normal sinus ventilation and drainage that triggers the development of a sinus infection. Sinusitis may begin as a viral infection, but within a few days can progress to a bacterial infection.
