How to treat migraine caused by sinusitis

Sinusitis is a common nasal disease in our daily life. The main cause of this disease is viral infection. People with this disease often have runny nose, sneezing, and a blocked nose. They also have concurrent migraine symptoms, which have a great impact on people's daily life, making their sleep and diet uncomfortable. Here is a detailed introduction on how to treat migraine caused by sinusitis.

Causes of headache :

1. Since the purulent nasal discharge is blocked in the nasal cavity and is not easy to blow out, patients often have headache symptoms. At this time, the patient can apply hot compresses, apply a towel to the forehead and nose, or take a hot bath. This will make it easier to blow out the purulent nasal discharge, and the headache symptoms will be alleviated. At the same time, you can also massage the temples, which also has a certain effect on relieving headache symptoms.

2. During the acute attack of sinusitis, patients should pay more attention to rest, avoid overwork, keep the room ventilated, avoid direct wind or sunlight exposure, and improve the indoor environment to avoid excessive temperature. Patients can also use an ice towel to apply to the neck or forehead, which can also help relieve headaches. The patient can also lie on his side, which allows one nostril to remain ventilated and may also help relieve headaches.

3. If sinusitis is an acute attack, patients can also be treated by using symptomatic drugs, but they must use the drugs safely under the guidance of a professional physician, especially for children, pregnant women, and the elderly and frail sinusitis patients. The principles of safe medication should be followed. Patients should not take drugs blindly on their own to prevent other damage to the body.

Treatment :

1. Massage

You can rub your nose or massage the nose acupoints every day. The specific method is: use your thumb to rub up and down along the bridge of the nose, rub the nose wings several times, and use your index finger to rotate and massage the "Yingxiang" area several times to enhance the blood circulation in the nose.

2. Add more vitamins to your diet

Patients with sinusitis should pay attention to supplementing more vitamins in daily life, because vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins are beneficial to the repair of the nasal mucosal epithelium. Eat more foods such as beans, whole grains and nuts to supplement vitamin B to maintain normal immune function. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamin C. Citrus fruits, blackberries and grapes are rich in bioflavonoids, which, when combined with vitamin C, can help maintain the health of capillaries. Additionally, bioflavonoids have anti-inflammatory properties.

3. Folk remedies

You can take 6 grams of Sophora flavescens powder and honey as seasoning and apply it to the affected area; use raw white radish juice twice a day, two drops in each nostril each time. The treatment course is generally four to five days, but remember not to eat chili peppers during the application period; 250 grams of Amaranthus macrocephala and 10 green-shell eggs, cook them together, peel the eggshells, put them into the soup and cook until they turn black and blue, then they can be eaten.
