When sinuses attack


We actually have air-filled spaces in the skull located behind the forehead, cheeks, nose, and between and behind the eyes. These are called sinuses, and they can be problematic when infection sets in.

YOU’RE sneezing and coughing. You’ve used up an entire box of tissues and your nose is bright red and sore from all the wiping and blowing. Are you down with the seasonal cold? Is it the flu? Perhaps not ... it could be an attack on your sinuses.
