Sinus infection (sinusitis) appears as a result of inflammation which affects the sinus membrane. This in turn results in bacterial growth which leads to congestion and sinus pain.

The nasal discharge is often thick and yellow, and patients experience a variety of symptoms, including:

  • Pain and discomfort
  • Frequent headaches
  • Fever and congestion
  • Runny nose
  • Loss of smell
  • Cough
  • Dental pain
  • Pressure around eyes
  • Post-nasal drip
  • Bad breath
  • Fatigue

Conditions that may also cause sinus blockage include:

  • Allergic rhinitis (swelling of the nose lining)
  • The common cold
  • A deviated septum
  • Nasal polyps
