Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Sinus infection: It might be infected again (or an original infection might not have completely resolved) but there is also a strong likelihood that the tissues are congested and causing pressure and pain. Do you have fever or colored nasal mucous? I suggest that you contact your doctor. Hope you feel better soon.
