On Medicines For Hay Fever And Asthma, Get Severe Sinus Headaches. Any Suggestions?
I have hayfever and asthma , on medication for both which controls most symptoms, however I have quite bad sinus headaches which the hayfever medication do nothing for. I m pretty sure these headaches are allergy related. It s a pressure, sinus headache, hurts when I look down etc, the only thing that works is painkillers but I don t want to take them, everyday, like I am at the moment. Any suggestions would be great as I am training for a marathon and these headaches are holding me back

Hi,
you seem to be suffering from asthma with allergic rhibosinusitis which might be secondarily infected. You need to visit an ENT specialist and also xray paranasal sinuses needs to be done for the extent of sinusitis. You will probably require a course of antibiotics and may be topical steroid spray if associated allergic rhinitis.
