Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. The paranasal air sinuses are air filled spaces located in the face and around the nose. These serve to condition the air when when it flows in to the respiratory passage.
2. A sinus headache is not a cause for concern but any other problem inside the head and presenting with similar symptoms of sinus like headache should not be ignored and requires clinical examination and imaging investigation like a CT scan head and sinuses.
3. If you are certain that it is a sinus headache and have consulted a doctor before then you can talk to your doctor over the phone and continue any medicines which have been prescribed to you.
4. If you have never been to a doctor then there is a requirement to go to the hospital immediately and confirm the condition and take the correct treatment.
5. Please protect yourself from cold weather and keep yourself warm.
Hope your query is answered.
