How Do I Know I Have Sinusitis?

There are several signs and symptoms that indicate you have a sinus infection. Most often people complain of:

• Pain near the cheek bones, the jaw line and teeth, above and behind the eyes, and in the head.
• An increase in pain when the doctor taps over the sinuses with his or her fingertips.
• As the infection worsens, fever may develop along with nasal discharge, head congestion, ear pain, and a diminished sense of smell.
