Lingering pain and pressure in your eyes and forehead or top of the head is the early symptom of sinus infection. This pain becomes more intense if you bend down or suddenly turn your face to one side.

3- Blocked nasal and sinus passages

This is felt more often during the night when you hit the bed and sleep or when you lie down. You are unable to breath properly through your nose and begin to sleep with your mouth open.

4- Sinus Drainage

The mucus which can be white, greenish, grayish or even red occasionally begins to move down through the throat to the stomach. It may not normally drain out from the nose and mouth so extra effort may be required to push it out.

5- Nausea

Since the mucus gets in the stomach, feeling of nausea and stomach upset may be felt. Your sense of taste may also become poor.

Ear pain can be mild to sever.
