What Is The Solution For Headaches, Eyebrow Area Pain And Allergies Caused By Sinusitis?
I flew on an airplane about 3 weeks ago, and I believe I had areosinitus. I'm still having severe pain in my right frontal sinus area. I've never had sinus problems, allergies, nor was I sick at the time....or even now. The front right sinus area above my right eye brow hurts to touch it, and it causes me to get head aches as well as face pain. Sounds strange, but I've also noticed I feel a little spacey as well from it. I'm not sure if something had ruptured while flying, and I'm not quit sure what to do.
Thanks,

I think its possible that you have frontal sinusitis. You can take regular NSAID like Ibuprofen for the pain. If you feel that your nose feels congested you could try steam inhalation just to reduce the congestion . You can try a short course of antibiotics like amoxycillin if the symptoms persists for more than a week.
