Can Feeling To Sneeze Always Be An Infection?

So lately ive been feeling like i have to sneeze more but i never do. Then it feels like my whole face, mainly sinus area, has to sneeze. Its a very weird feeling and ive never felt it before. Is it just a small infection? Also my nasal passage has been kinda swollen.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Sneezing is mainly due to irritation of the respiratory system by dust, mites, microorganisms and some chemicals.
These irritants stimulates the tracheo bronchial tree and produces this sneezing.
The frequent sneezing will leads to swelling of the nasal mucosa and it will give swollen feeling in the nose.
Thank you.
