1. The Common Cold or a Serious
Sinus Infection?

2. The symptoms of the common cold can vary from a
nagging cough to a runny nose and mild fatigue.
However, when these symptoms linger for weeks or are
accompanied by other conditions, you may have a sinus
infection.
More than a Runny Nose
While your itchy and runny nose may be a snotty
nuisance that hikes up your facial tissue bill, it can also be
a sign of a sinus infection. In fact, your mucus can tell you
a great deal about the state of your body. Symptoms of
sinus infection found in your mucus include:

3. • A thick consistency
• A dark green color
• A dark yellow color
• Dense discharge
Colored mucus usually signals a bacterial infection, but it
is not the only sign of sinus infection.
Oh the Pain

4. Sinus infections usually bring about throbbing pain in the
nasal cavities underneath the eyes, inside the cheeks and
along the forehead. When your sinuses are inflamed from
the infection, you may also feel aches in your jaw lines
and between your eyes.
While a sinus infection is not pleasant, it can be treated
with a short round of antibiotics. Your doctor can also
prescribe home remedies such as steam or herbs to help
you fight off the infection. To learn more about sinus
