Pain in the ethmoidal cells

Inflammation of the ethmoid cells (sinusitis) can cause severe pain in the paranasal sinuses. This pain can be triggered and intensified when bending, coughing or tapping, i.e. in situations where pressure is increased. In addition, especially if the maxillary sinuses are also affected, tapping and pressure pain may occur to the side of the nose.This pain often radiates into the upper jaw, teeth and the skin between the upper lip and lower eyelid.
