The cause of the frontitis, like sinusitis, is a prolonged runny nose with allergies and colds. Also, the frontitis is a complication of SARS, influenza and other infectious diseases. The disease is more severe than sinusitis and sinusitis.

The main symptom of the frontitis is a severe headache in the area above the eyebrows and in the forehead. The greatest intensity of pain manifests in the morning.
