what does it mean by your sinuses are draining?

Answer 1

The hollow cavities above and below your eyes begin to drain mucus. This can cause a runny nose, but they can also drain down the back of your throat, which can cause a sore throat. It's actually a good thing, especially if you have been having sinus headaches.

Answer 2

Sinuses Draining

Answer 3

If you have a bad cold, allergies or a sinus infection you get really bad mucus build up in the sinus cavaties. This gives you a stuffy nose, and a very unpleasant sense of pressure under the eyes.. Eventually this mucus builds up to the point where it has to go somewhere, usually down the back of your throat, which can cause coughing and a sore throat. A runny nose doesn't mean your sinuses are draining, it just means you need to blow your nose :)
