Yes. As a person who suffers from Acute Sinus Infections often, these characteristics sound common. However, tooth aches (caused by cavity or infection) can also cause similar symptoms. The easiest way to tell if it is a true sinus infection is the colour of your mucous. It should be clear. It is it dark yellow or green, you should go see a doctor. Treatments include antibiotics, decongestants and something to tin the mucous like Mucinex. If you get these often, there may be an underlying issue like a deviated septum or other sinus problem. Good luck.
