Villas - Never ignore a child or adult that has a sinus infection, especially if their forehead becomes swollen and inflamed. This could be a life threatening infection called "Potts puffy tumor." Don't just assume like many people do that it's just a head cold. If treated in time with antibiotics and surgery to drain the abscess before the infection goes to your brain you will increase your chance of survival. This infection sometimes follows a head injury too. Make sure you mention this to the doctor, it will help with a proper diagnosis.
