Symptom #9: Inflamed Sinuses
This is the most common indicator of a sinus infection - the actual inflammation of the sinuses themselves. This is also one of the main things that separates sinus infections from regular colds or other conditions.
Infected, inflamed sinuses can usually be felt as a dull, throbbing pain. This pain usually manifest behind the eyes or in the areas behind the nasal bones or cheeks - the areas where your sinuses cover. This is basically the main issue with sinus infections and is what leads to many of the other problems, such as post-nasal drip and headaches.
