Do you have sinus headaches?

Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics for sinus headaches, and sometimes necessary in severe cases sinuses drained. Antibiotics need time to work, so if your headaches disappear within a day or more, consider the possibility that you already have
migraine. If you get a cold or allergy attack that just did not go, maybe sinusitis.

What are the symptoms of sinus headache?
When you get an infection and your sinuses become inflamed, it's sinusitis. You may begin to feel like you are suffering from colds or flu.

With sinus headaches, you will often deal with post nasal drip, which is a collection of mucus in the back of your throat when you lie on your back. You may also be congested. These symptoms are also typical of migraine. However, sinus infection will last longer, and if it becomes worse you may feel generally sick and even develop a fever (with a migraine you may feel like you have a fever, but you usually do not). Fatigue is common. You may also find that your mucus is thicker than normal and discolored.

Pain in the sinus headache is usually localized around the eyes, and you actually may feel some tenderness.

It is important to sinus infections to be treated, because from time to time the infection can spread to the brain or the membranes covering the brain. Be sure to give your doctor as much information as possible if you think you have symptoms of sinus headache, so he would not prescribe antibiotics that you do not need (and which will not help you too!). There are different types of sinusitis as well, and your doctor will help you decide which one will you suffer.

If you feel suffocated, in the early stages you may be able to avoid sinusitis by drinking plenty of fluids and use warm steam spas (such as MDF2R Conair Facial Sauna - a good enough reason to spoil yourself when the pain is gone, too!) Some migraineurs also found help using items such as facial sauna.
