Could this be a sinus infection?

Had a strange cold, where my nose felt blocked, but further up than normal. Dizzy, feel proper rough. I've got constantly watering eyes which I think is blocked year ducts. It can happen with a sinus infection apparently. I don't have loads of pain, but weird feeling across my nose and cheeks. Bubbling? It's worse with glasses on.

I suppose it could be and one way to test it is to take a decongestant. I get sinus infections frequently and only get the odd pain rather than any ongoing discomfort so your symptoms sound similar to what I get except that I also get a raging sore throat to clue me in.

Can you smell anything? I have had a sinus infection twice and both times completely lost my sense of smell for over a week.

Lots of thick green mucus is also a sign (grim I know - sorry)

No mucus. There is so pain. It feels like when I used to do somersaults in the swimming pool underwater as a kid.

Try a sudafed. They are the only thing that clears sinus pain for me. I always get pain across the top of my cheeks and across my forehead. Neither paracetamol nor ibuprofen can shift it.

My husband once had a sinus infection with bright yellow watery liquid leaking from his nose. We went to A&E - I thought his brain was leaking out Grin
