Common Symptoms of a Sinus Infection
Sinus infections (also referred to as “acute sinusitis” or “rhinosinusitis”) can cause a wide array of unpleasant symptoms, including:
- Headache
- Fever
- Facial pain (especially around the eyes, cheekbones, and upper jaw)
- Congestion
- Coughing
- Difficulty breathing
- Thick yellow or green discharge
- Decreased sense of smell and taste
- Bad breath
Sinus infections often occur as a result of allergies, asthma, or the common cold. When the nasal cavities become inflamed and swollen, mucus gets trapped and becomes a breeding ground for germs, leading to infection. In some cases, sinus infections can be caused by bacteria, in which case antibiotics may be necessary.
Walk-In Sinusitis Treatment in Norwalk

Our local urgent care center—located at 346 Main Avenue, in the old Hour Building—is open every day of the year with extended hours, and you can even check in online to expedite your visit.
