Dr. Anifat Balogun answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Fungal or bacterial?: It would be unusual to have a "bad" bacterial sinus infection and not have headache and/or facial pain. A fungal infection in an otherwise healthy person may not be painful. If you think you have a sinus infection, check with your primary doctor or an ent.
