What Does Crackling Inside The Nose Followed By Headache Mean?

I am experiencing some crackling inside my nose and immediately afterwards I have sharp headache pains. Even though the pain goes away afterwards, I do have headaches regardless. Is there something going on with my sinuses or is it something I need to get checked out?

Thank you for choosing HCM

It seems that you have rhinitis which is leading to the headache. You can try the following to help you:
Drink lots of water
Inhale steam with Vicks Vaporub mixed in to clear the nasal passages
Take 1 tablet of paracetamol 500 every 12 hours
Take 1 tablet of Cetirizine 10 mg at night

Follow up after 3 days. All the best.
Hope this helps you
