Sinus Infection (Sinusitis): What It Is, Common Symptoms and Early Signs

6. Temple pain

Temple pain

This symptom is also important, especially when the frontal sinuses are involved in the disease. The inflammation of the area triggers pain receptors and reaches the brain. However, the brain interprets the signals as if they came from the temples, and patients start experiencing temple pain. This is called referred pain because the problem is not precisely in the temples but in the frontal sinuses instead.
