What symptoms have you had from a sinus infection?


Question:
I am having a lot of pressure behind my nose and around my eye. I also have felt some pressure on my upper back jaw. It really frightens but I am told this is a sinus infrection. I do not have a runny nose but I do feel the occasionaly nasal drip. Has anyone had similar symptoms?

Answers:
yes, I have had similar. The nose may not be runny b/c the sinuses are not draining. other symptoms I have had include yellowish or greenish mucus (gross, I know, but very common with these). Horrible headaches. And like you said, intense pressure.
Hope you feel better soon. They can cause you to fill weak and/or dizzy, to be very tired...and they can take a long time to get rid of!
Drink plenty of fluids. Take your antibiotics until they are finished. Take it easy.

Hello from France !

I had a sinus infection one day and I had same symptoms like you + headache !
See a special doctor for nose and throat, because that can be worse, bad for your ears too !!

Have a nice day,

Catherine.
sounds like a sinus infection to me. i got them so often that i needed to have surgery for a deviated septum. i also had a lot of polyps that had to be removed.

some of the other symptoms include: fever, chills, headache, bodyaches, stuffiness.

you have to get an antibiotic to get rid of the sinus infection. don't let it go too long without seeing a doctor.
it's only an infection if there is green or yellow mucus from your nose- otherwise-
it is your sinuses, but probably just allergies

hope you feel better!!
