Hi, thank you for trusting Healthcare Magic.
I understand your concern.
From your story, it looks like you have headaches caused by
sinusitis.
For your information, sinus is a small cavity filled with air that lies behind the cheekbones and forehead. The function of the sinuses is to produce the mucus that flows into the nose, for the next to flow backwards, toward the throat to be swallowed to the digestive tract. All circumstances that result in blockage of the flow of mucus from the sinuses into the
nasal cavity will cause sinusitis.
Sinusitis means inflammation of the sinus cavity in the facial bones. Inflammation of the sinuses can be triggered by an infection process (bacteria, virus, fungus) or noninfectious (allergic) that can close the sinus opening.
One of the symptoms of sinusitis is a headache, which has the following characteristics:
1. Constant pain
2. Pressure pain in the face area (around eyes, forehead and cheeks).
3. Pain that occurs on one side of the head.
4.
Severe pain in the morning and subsided during the day.
5. Increased pain is felt when the head is lowered.
6. Pain is felt during a temperature change, for example from cold to hot or vice versa.
Symptoms of sinusitis headache are often the same as migraine headaches and tension-type headache. However, what distinguishes it is a sinusitis headache accompanied by accompanying symptoms, such as fever and the presence of green or yellow mucus that comes from the nose and
nasal congestion.
Your symptoms of headache also can arise from
high blood pressure, so you may want to check your blood pressure first.
Thus, treatment of sinusitis involves longer-term antibiotics than usual and other drugs that reduce complaints.
We recommend that you go to an
ENT specialist to be thoroughly examined. You may also need an X-ray scan or a CT scan.
To reduce the pain, you may consume
acetaminophen temporarily and take a rest.
I hope yofu get better soon.
