Hello. Thanks for asking from HCM.
I can understand your concern. The headache with heaviness(Pressure), occurring for few days, sounds from nose (could be due to partial nasal blockade) could be due to
:
Sinusitis - In sinusitis, there is blockade of air sinus opening in
nasal cavity and it leads to collection of secretion in sinus and pain. This pain occurs as heaviness around eyes and maxillary area, starts in morning and becomes severe as the day passes, more pain in cold environment/forward bending, along with
post nasal discharge.
For relief, you can follow few tips
: Avoid cold environment or direct exposure to cool air
: Inhale steam 4 to 5 times daily
: Prefer warm/hot beverages like tea/hot milk
: You can take combination of Paracetamol-Xylometazoline-
Cetrizine after proper prescription
: You can take antibiotic course like Co-amoxyclav therapy after proper prescription.
: Another cause could be rhinitis/
common cold - It presents as running nose, weakness in body, body ache, malaise, may be fever.
Treatment includes
: Bed rest
: Plenty of fluids
: You can take Paracetamol for fever and headache after proper prescription
: You can take Vitamin B complex and
Vitamin C supplement to enhance immunity
: Usually this type of infection is due to viral disease. It will resolve on its own in 5 to 7 days.
Hope it will help you. If still no relief, you can
consult doctor. He/she might advise eye examination/nose examination, may advise CT head to rule out any abnormality in head. Further treatment will be decided after reports.
Thanks. Take care.
