Having trouble with sinus pain?
It could be Sinusitis.

You may have sinus trouble for a number of reasons. Sinusitis occurs when the mucous membranes lining the facial sinuses become inflamed. This inflammation is often caused by a bacterial infection, although viruses, fungi, allergies and air pollution can also cause irritation.

A lot of people mistake a particularly bad cold for sinusitis. Many of the symptoms are the same, including headache or face pain, a nasty runny nose and nasal congestion. If you have allergies, asthma, physical abnormalities in the nose or sinuses, or a compromised immune system, you are at greater risk.
