Foul colored snot,+: We all have sinus cavaties as part of our anatomy. A sinus infection is characterized by yellow green often foul smelling nasal discharge, nasal congestion, often pain in the face, or behind the eyes, sensation of pressure and tenderness to the touch. Some will have pain in the upper teeth. After the foul discolored nasal drainage, the other features vary based on which sinuses and the severity.
