Why do I keep getting really bad sinus headaches?

What are u feeling??

If could be a sinus infection. It could be clogged which is why your getting bad headaches and its affecting your sleep. You might need antibiotics so get it checked out by a doctor. It could also be hay fever.

Having a doctor check would be a good idea. Ruling out an infection or anatomic problems you may benefit from using a humidifier and using a large syringe or neti pot to rinse your sinuses with salt water.

It could be a sinus infection or allergies. You could try taking a medication like “Sinutab”, it will probally give you some pain relief and help you sleep. If it continues you should go see a Dr.

If you have had a cold or flu like symptoms within the last few weeks, when you have been blowing your nose quite hard and frequently - it may have caused chronic sinusitis lasting much longer than the original symptoms.

If that sounds right, and you cannot get an early Doctor’s appointment for immediate treatment, I recommend you describe your symptoms to your Pharmacist and enquire about the purchase of a pack of Otrivine Mucron Decongestant Tablets - available as a pack of 12 which will last 3 to 4 days,which should be long enough to provide relief until you can see your Doctor.

I quote the following: “… Otrivine Mu-Cron tablets provide relief from the symptoms of colds and flu including feverishness, aches and pains, headache and blocked nose and sinuses. They have been specially formulated to avoid making you feel drowsy. This product contains : Paracetamol Ph.Eur.500mg, Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride BP60mg.

Children 6 to 12 years: Half a tablet to be taken four times a day, up to a maximum of two tablets in 24 hours if necessary. Do not give to children under 6 years.

Side Effects This medicine may cause nausea, vomiting, headache, restlessness, tremor, sleeplessness, fat or irregular heart beat, high blood pressure, palpitations, skin rashes and occasionally urinary retention in men.

thanks but it’s not that i’ve had them for a while now since early december maybe i thought it was the weather but the weather is getting better and i am still getting them

you may have a sinus infection that hasn’t gone completely away. My son has that. he keeps getting them after an antibiotic and stuff. so we went to an allergist who said that. ((sinus infection never completely went away)) they have him on nasonex nose spray. That will break up what left and help get rid of it.

My suggestion? Try a nasal spray. It’ll help relieve pressure.
