Asthma, a bronchial condition, is much less common ailment than hay fever, an allergic inflammation of the nasal passages.

If allergies are causing your sinus pain, antihistamines and other allergy medicines can help relieve symptoms.

Nasal steroids are helpful for allergies and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines for colds, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
