The primary and most common symptom of sinus disease is a runny nose. It appears in the early stages of many infections and is usually ignored. However, it can be a symptom of developing sinusitis.

A “heavy head” feeling is also characteristic, as well as the sensation of an elevated temperature even if it is at a normal level.
