What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Sinus Infection?
I have cold-like symptoms.....stuffy/runny nose, sneezing. I've developed, over the past couple days, pain in/on the bridge of my nose, with pressure going upward in my lower forehead. I've never experienced this pain on the bridge of my nose before.....it literally hurts to gently touch it. Is this symptomatic of a sinus infection?

Hi,
Looking to the history you are having acute Frontal sinusitis giving severe pain and tenderness on the bridge of your nose.
many a time even bringing down head forward also cause this type of headache.
Go for vicks vapor inhalation.
Take some analgesic, decongestant medicine for 2-3 days.
If require go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5 days.
Ok and take care.
