Sinus Pain

Sinus pain is a common symptom of sinusitis, a condition caused by inflammation of the sinus cavities. Sinus pain is typically experienced as facial tenderness and pressure of the affected sinus area. Nasal congestion, sneezing, and a runny nose are also common symptoms associated with sinusitis.
