Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If you are not better with the medication then you consult a doctor. You may be having symptoms of
sinusitis which may be making you dizzy and drowsy.
You can try these
home remedies. If you are not better with these then consult an ENT surgeon.
1. Flush your nasal passages. A saline wash thins mucus and helps flush it out of the nasal passages.
2. Take a steam. Hot water vapor can help moisten the
sinuses. Sprinkle a few drops of eucalyptus or menthol in the shower and steam up your bathroom. A hot, steamy shower or bath can also help to loosen up mucus and debris that is stuck inside your nose.
3. Drink up. Staying hydrated helps your body in many ways, including keeping your sinuses moist. Drink water throughout the day, and make sure to steer clear of caffeinated or alcoholic drinks, which can cause
dehydration.
4. Allergies can make sinus pain worse. Try controlling your home environment by getting rid of dust mites, installing an air filter system, using bedding with allergen-barriers, and keeping any pets out of the bedroom to help curb nasal allergies.
5. Use a humidifier. A humidifier can keep the air moist, but be sure to keep it clean, especially if you have mold allergies.
6. Apply warm compresses. You can use a warm compress to help keep the nasal tissues moist.
7. Don’t ask for antibiotics right away. Using antibiotics indiscriminately can lead to
antibiotic resistance and the development of superbugs, plus they may not be effective in treating most cases of sinusitis.
If the sinus pain does not improve with over-the-counter help, your doctor can perform a
CT scan of the nose and sinuses to look for anatomical blockages that can be treated surgically, such as a deviated
nasal septum or nasal polyps.
