Also known as: Sinus Pain (Sinogenic Pain)
Sinus pain is pressure or aching felt around the forehead, cheeks, nose, and between the eyes, corresponding to the location of the sinus cavities. It often occurs alongside nasal congestion and may worsen when bending forward. Most sinus pain is caused by viral upper respiratory infections rather than bacterial sinusitis.
There are several possible reasons you may be experiencing Sinus Pain. Here are the most common ones.
See a doctor if sinus pain persists for more than ten days without improvement, is accompanied by a high fever, severe headache, swelling around the eyes, or vision changes. Sinus symptoms that initially improve then worsen again (double sickening) may suggest a bacterial infection requiring antibiotics.
