A sinus infection, also known as sinusitis, is an inflammation and swelling of your sinuses. The sinuses are a group of air-filled spaces in the facial bones. When a person has a sinus infection, air and mucus become trapped in the swollen sinuses, promoting the growth of germs and other bacteria, eventually leading to an infection.
