A member asked:
Left side of face is hurting. feels like a sinus infection but smelling a foul odor everytime i bend forward. is that normal for a sinus infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your description is: very consistent with a sinus infection. It would be important to treat this quickly and effectively as serious sinus infections can progress rapidly to more serious central nervous system infections. See a health care professional as soon as possible or go to an ER for evaluation and treatment.
