ANSWER: With this headache type, your swollen, irritated sinuses make your poor head hurt. An allergy or a cold can often cause a sinus headache. Your head pain, which often follows a sinus-blocking upper respiratory infection, hammers right above or below your eyes.
People who have chronic sinus disease usually don't have headaches. Sinus headaches are more likely to occur with acute sinusitis. You can treat a sinus headache with antibiotics (if you have a sinus infection) or decongestants.
Sometimes doctors find that people aren't sure where their sinuses are. In case you're hazy on the location of your sinuses, they're found under your cheekbone on each side, under your forehead bone, and behind your nose. (when sinuses get inflamed, your head can hurt.)
