A sinus headache is a headache associated with infection, inflammation and congestion of the sinuses (sinusitis). Sinus headache causes a dull, deep, or severe pain in the front of the head and face. The pain is worsened by bending down or leaning over and by cold or damp weathers. It is often worse in the morning, and better by afternoon. The important risk factors for sinusitis and sinus headache are allergies, asthma, persistent cold or upper respiratory infection, nasal polyps, ear infections, tonsillitis etc. The treatment for this type of headache aims at relieving the headache, reducing nasal congestion and treating the cause of sinusitis (allergy or respiratory infection).
