Understanding Sinus Pain

Sinus pain is a common condition caused by inflammation or infection in the sinus cavities. It can lead to facial pressure, headaches, nasal congestion, and difficulty breathing. Identifying the root cause of sinus pain is essential for effective treatment and long-term relief.

Common Causes of Sinus Pain

1. Sinus Infections (Sinusitis) – Bacterial or viral infections cause inflammation and blockage in the sinuses.
2. Allergic Reactions – Pollen, dust, mold, and pet dander can trigger sinus pain and congestion.
3. Deviated Nasal Septum – Structural issues in the nose can lead to poor sinus drainage and discomfort.
4. Nasal Polyps – Noncancerous growths in the nasal passages can obstruct airflow and cause pain.
5. Chronic Sinusitis – Long-term inflammation leading to persistent sinus pain and pressure.
6. Concha Bullosa- middle turbinate bone swelling which con touch the septum and cause severe sinus pain.
7. Environmental Irritants – Pollution, smoke, and strong odors can aggravate sinus inflammation.
8. Cold & Flu – Viral infections can lead to temporary sinus congestion and pain.
