Spotting Sinus Symptoms
A sinus infection may produce different kinds of symptoms, depending on which sinus is affected. One of the most common symptoms of sinusitis is a headache, especially when you first wake up in the morning. Other symptoms may include:
Pain in the middle of the forehead (frontal sinuses)
Aching of the upper jaw and teeth (maxillary sinuses)
Swelling and pain around the eyes (ethmoid sinuses)
Earache, neck pain, or a deep, aching pain at the top of the head (sphenoid sinuses)
With a severe sinus infection, you may have a fever or feel weak, tired, and aching. You may have a cough that worsens at night or a runny or stuffed-up nose. Mucus from the sinuses that drains down the back of the throat can also cause a sore throat. If you experience these symptoms, contact your doctor. Sinus infections are treatable.
