Can Be Very Serious: Veins which drain this area: upper lip, nose & center to above eyebrows, called a danger triangle, connect with veins under the base of the brain. Thus, infections in this area can spread into skull under base of brain, venous cavernous thrombosis & enormous problems. No guaranteed emergency but can end up one. Mild headache could be early sign of major problems, threat to life. Letus know outcome.
