Are Cold,sinus Infection,brow Bone And Frontal Sinuses Related?
Dear Dr.
I have hard browbone and frontal sinuses, protruding out side. And I often get pain there when i get cold and exposed to sunlight. Is there any relation between cold, sinus infection and browbone & frontal sinuses. And also i get pain in the region when i listening to music in headphones.

Common cold, or simply 'cold', and sinus infection are related. Infection of the sinuses or sinusitis is a complication of common cold.
The nasal cavity communicates with the sinuses and hence an infection of the nose can result in sinusitis. The maxillary sinus, which lies within the upper-jaw bone, is most frequently affected. The frontal sinuses are involved less frequently.
