How Can Sinusitis Be Treated?

I feel like I may have a sinus infection.. no coughing or stuff nose, but fullness frontal headache, and a post nasal drip. My throat hurts a little when I swallow but nothing extremely painful. I looked in my mouth my tonsils don t seem swollen but there s a small raised fleshed colored area in on my posterior Fautial pillar. I touched it with a q-tip and its soft not painful. No white patches or redness to the throat. No fever. Viral? Should I see an ent for the raised bump?

Hi,

Some of the causes of post nasal drip are sinusitis, cough, cold, allergies and pregnancy (if a woman). Since you complain of a frontal headache, it could be a sign of sinusitis as mentioned.

Sinusitis is a condition caused by fever, infections, deviated septum, allergies, etcetera. I would suggest you to consult a specialist for the treatment of this condition, but in the meantime, you could opt for home remedies such as steam inhalation, using a humidifier and applying warm compresses.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sreeja
