sinus infection
Inflamed nasal cavities
A sinus infection is inflammation of the sinuses—the air-filled cavities in the skull around the nose and eyes—usually caused by bacteria, viruses, or allergies.
Symptoms include facial pressure, congestion, and thick nasal discharge.
I've had this sinus infection for two weeks now.
Also called sinusitis.
