The sinus is one of several open spaces behind or in the face, they are within the bones of the skull. pain is usually due to a response to infection within the soft tissue lining of these sinuses. The response will include inflammation and fluid production. Both can irritate nerves and cause pain.

Analgesics
Antibiotics for bacterial infection
Various aromatic herbal and medical preparations to ease congestion
Corticosteroids - if you feel lucky!
Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT)
