This could be the reason why your husband might be experiencing headache. In his case he is having some infection in the maxillary sinuses which are air filled spaces on either side of the nose. So the point that he has mucosa thickening in these sinuses is a sign of infection. And the reason of this mucosa thickening could also be the deviation of nasal septum in your report.
It's nothing to be too worried as a course of medication will do as of now. But you have to look if these symptoms have been recurring cause if it's the case then you need to get him treated for his dns as gross dns is a cause of recurrent symptoms.
