The sinuses are several in number and situated both above and below the level of our eyes, as well as behind the nose. Any, or all of these could hurt, in an irreparable manner, with the coming of an infection.

2Discharge

If you thought that the pain from a sinus infection was as bad, as bad could get, then just hold on till the nasal discharges start.

The sinuses get swelled up due to the infection, which in turn block the nasal passages, thus causing breathing problems. The nasal congestion, may also lead to a diminished sense of smell and taste.

4Headaches

The headaches caused by sinusitis, are often at their menacing worst, early in the morning as the fluids collect in the cavities throughout the night. A change in temperatures could only worsen the situation.
