Air-filled
cavities in the forehead, cheekbones, and at the back of the bridge of the nose
are called sinuses. Thin mucus is produced by the sinus that drains out of the
canal of the nose. When a sinus becomes inflamed, due to an allergic reaction,
a tumor, or an infection, the inflammation will thwart the steady flow of mucus
and this results in a pain akin to that of a headache.
Usually
makes the pain becomes worse when you bend down or lean over, as does cold and
damp weather. Sinus headaches are often worse in the morning and better by
afternoon. Sinus headaches are associated with a deep and constant pain in the
cheekbones, forehead, or bridge of the nose. The pain usually increases with
abrupt head movement or straining. Other sinus symptoms, such as nasal
discharge, feeling of fullness in the ears, fever, and facial swelling come
along with this pain.
Doctors
conduct test to ascertain whether the headache is sinus headache or it is
migraine or tension headache. Physical examination for congestion,
transillumination i.e. shining a light through the sinuses or in some cases
x-rays, a CT scan, or an MRI is done to check for sinusitis.
In
order to treat the sinus headache, the primary sinusitis inflammation has to be
treated. Treatment can involve using humidifier, and other natural remedies to
clear the sinusitis. If the infection is due to bacteria then antibiotics are
given to clear the infection. A short period of antihistamines such as Benadryl
or decongestants such as Sudafed is given to treat the symptoms. If the pain
still persists then corticosteroids are prescribed to reduce the inflammation.
When an allergen is causing the sinusitis break out preventive allergy therapy
is used.
Sometimes
surgical drain of the mucous in the sinuses is also done to clear the
inflammation. Alternative treatments like natural remedies, acupuncture and
homeopathic medication are also given to treat sinus headaches. Even nasal
steroid therapy is used to bring relief and clear inflammation.
