How to treat headache caused by sinusitis

Sinusitis is a relatively common type of rhinitis, which is quite harmful to patients and often causes repeated attacks. At this time, timely and good treatment is necessary. There are many treatment methods. If it is not particularly serious, you can wash your nose with saline. You should pay attention to nasal hygiene and drug treatment. If it is really serious, you can use negative pressure replacement method, sinus puncture surgery and other treatments.

1. Negative pressure replacement method: also known as variable pressure replacement therapy or Proz therapy, it forms negative pressure in the sinus cavity. When suction is stopped, under the action of atmospheric pressure, the liquid medicine dripped into the nasal cavity can enter the sinus cavity through the sinus opening and replace the secretions in the sinus, thereby achieving the purpose of treatment.

2. Nasal irrigation with saline: Washing your nose with saline can clean the sinus openings, make blocked sinus openings unobstructed, and help the accumulated fluid in the sinus cavity flow out. Use the Jiebikang nasal washer to clean the nasal cavity 1-2 times a day, and the results will be seen in a week.

3. Sinus puncture surgery: drip 1% ephedrine saline into the nasal cavity to reduce the swelling of the nasal mucosa, then perform local anesthesia on the nasal cavity, pierce the sinus with a puncture needle, and inject sterile saline into the sinus cavity to compress the pus and flow out through the natural opening of the sinus cavity. Repeat this rinse until the salt water is clear. Finally, antibacterial drugs are injected into the sinus cavity.

4. Pay attention to nasal hygiene

You should also pay attention to the method of blowing your nose. When blowing your nose, you should press one nostril, blow out with a little force, and then blow alternately. Secondly, during an acute attack, you should get more rest. The bedroom should be bright and keep the indoor air circulating, but avoid direct wind and direct sunlight.

5. You can take some cold or hot compress methods.

Some people like to apply cold compresses to the forehead and neck, which works for many people; others prefer hot compresses to the neck or take a hot bath. When a headache strikes, you can cover your forehead with a hot or cold pack and massage the blood vessels in your temples to relieve the pain.
