A member asked:
Ent question: how do you diagnose a sinus infection in the frontal sinuses? how is it different than regular physician?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More detailed exam: Frontal sinusitis can present with more localized pain/headache in the forehead area. Usually a detailed history and a more thorough exam called nasal endoscopy can help make the diagnosis. Imaging techniques such as ct can also be helpful.
