What is Sinus Congestion/Pain ?

Sinus congestion and pain, often a result of sinusitis, is characterized by inflamed and swollen nasal sinuses leading to symptoms such as a stuffy or runny nose, facial pain, and pressure around the nose, eyes, or forehead. Treatment typically includes over-the-counter decongestants, pain relievers, nasal sprays, and sometimes antibiotics if a bacterial infection is suspected. Addressing underlying allergies or environmental irritants can also help manage and prevent symptoms.
