Sinuses are small hollow spaces in your cheek and around your eyes. Infections caused by viruses, bacteria and some fungi can cause the tissue lining your sinuses to swell and become inflamed. This infection and inflammation, called sinusitis, causes a runny and stuffy nose and pain and pressure in your face and head. Sinus infection often occurs after a bout of common cold and the offending viruses are the same as the ones that caused the cold.
