A person having this sinus problem experiences pain and extreme discomfort and the pain usually starts from under the eye region and moves towards the jaw and can also be mistaken as either a headache or toothache.

Cause For Nasal Congestion:
Nasal congestion can occur when a person is allergic to something or has a kind of allergic reaction. It can also be caused from flu, fever and influenza.
