Symptoms and treatment of headache with genyantritis

1 Clinical picture of

The most common headache symptoms:

• is painful to touch the skin of the face;
• sensation of pressure on the face( especially the eye area suffers);
• severe pain when tilting the head forward or sideways;
• increased pain after sleep, because too much mucus can accumulate at night, which starts to push hard;
• at temperature differences there are unpleasant sensations;
• nasal mucus becomes brown or green in color;
• swelling of the nose, difficulty breathing;
• fatigue, periodic chills.

The appearance of an infectious disease is primarily signaled by the nose. It is he who is able to resist the pathogenic microflora, signaling the presence of inflammation. If immunity could not overcome the infection immediately, sinusitis appears.

2 The difference between migraine and sinusitis

To find out how to relieve a headache, you need to determine its nature. For example, a migraine can occur as a result of exposure to various external stimuli, amplification of noise or light. Very often migraine is accompanied by nausea. Whereas with genyantritis pain occurs when the head turns.

Sinusitis occurs due to congestion of the sinuses, which swell strongly, and the nasal mucosa becomes inflamed. As a result of stagnation, the temperature rises first, there is pain in the forehead and hyperemia, and all this is accompanied by a general weakness. In the nasal sinuses appears a painful pain, pus begins to appear, which presses on the sinuses and provokes unpleasant sensations in the face and ears.

With proper functioning of the nasal sinuses, mucus easily leaves, and the air circulates absolutely normally. During inflammation, mucus stops fully retiring, blocks the nose and makes breathing difficult. Such a medium is simply ideal for the reproduction of bacteria.

Genyantritis is most common among allergic people suffering from bronchial asthma, neoplastic diseases, polyps or wolf mouth. Sometimes a headache with sinusitis provokes flights, diving, swimming or stress.

3 Pathological manifestation of

Allergy often starts to accumulate pus, which leads to the appearance of a headache. However, an allergic reaction does not always cause discomfort. Sometimes even her treatment can not relieve the pain, so you should consider these phenomena separately. First of all, it is worth to turn to a specialist, because only a doctor is able to pinpoint the causes and prescribe the most appropriate treatment.

Headache with sinusitis can occur due to inflammation of the maxillary sinuses. This creates pressure and tension near the sinuses. In difficult cases, the pain intensifies and spreads to the area of ​​the cheekbones and forehead. Sometimes it comes to the temple, capturing the whole face or most of it. Headache can be supplemented by toothache, but it is limited to the upper jaw and intensified during chewing.

It happens that the head hurts because of an infectious neuritis that affects the trigeminal nerve. Collateral swelling slowly squeezes nerves. Then normal breathing is disrupted, and pus begins to appear from the nose. Unpleasant feelings intensify towards evening. Over time, the source of pain is more difficult to find, and then there is a severe headache.

Sometimes the cause is shortness of breath. In this case, the voice changes, it becomes more gundosym. It all depends on the sinusitis, because if you can not breathe both parts of the nose, and the air is slightly visible, the forehead immediately pierces a sharp pain. Discomfort occurs during alternate nasal congestion.

4 Sensations at different stages of the disease

In the first stages of the illness, the sensations can be lubricated and appear only in the morning as aching attacks in the occiput, which themselves pass several hours later. However, over time, more pus becomes in the sinuses, the pain increases and the patient suffers from discomfort almost round the clock.

With tilts or corners, the headaches in sinusitis acquire a different character: short-term spasms appear that are localized near the base of the nose, spreading further down the head. During palpation, the face seems more sensitive.

In later stages of sinusitis, the head does not cease to hurt. Most of all, with a sinusitis, the headache in the face area. Strong painkillers have a short-term effect and only blunt the pain.

5 Treatment measures

Out-patient treatment is suitable only for patients who do not have indications for hospitalization. To be treated permanently is necessary for patients with complications or severe organ damage. The main part of the treatment of the headache is aimed at getting rid of the sinusitis itself and smoothing its symptoms.

The standard course of therapy consists of:

• anti-infective antibiotics;
• antihistamines that eliminate edema;
• decongestants.

Sometimes medications only intensify the headache, so it is better not to take them without the appropriate appointment of a specialist.

Many medications contain painkillers, but if the head continues to ache during sinusitis, the doctor may prescribe corticosteroids that reduce inflammation.

In order to relieve the headache, it is sometimes prescribed decongestant medications that alleviate the symptoms of the disease and constrict the blood vessels, thus relieving the pain. These drugs are used with extreme caution, because they are addictive.

It is known that you can treat sinusitis without antibiotics, because the action of such powerful drugs is not always noticeable, and the blood flow in the maxillary sinuses is significantly weakened. Before using antibiotics, you need to consider the possibility of the appearance of immunodeficiency and take the necessary measures.

To enhance the effect of medications, you need to supplement the treatment with other procedures, such as:

• neck and scalp massage;
• aromatherapy;
• at least 3 times a day to breathe the steam( you can do it without specialized equipment, just bend over a pot of boiling water and cover yourself with a towel);
• rinse with salt solution;
• humidify the room.

6 Home Therapy

If you can not get to a doctor, you can refer to home remedies that will ease the condition. But remember that such treatment will not replace full-fledged medical care. They will affect the nasal mucosa:

1. Nasal canals can be washed with a solution of sea salt or herbal infusions( marigold, heather, tartar or sage).A small syringe is needed to perform the procedure. You need to repeat it at least three times a day.
2. Oily instillation will help avoid drying and swelling of the mucosa. For this procedure, you need to prepare olive and corn oil, mixing them in the same ratio. Leave the oil to insist on the hunters for a day, and then warm up for 3 hours for a couple. The nose is instilled after washing, while being in a lying position.
3. After all the procedures, you need to apply a warming ointment to the area of ​​the maxillary sinuses. To make it you need to mix a small slice of the usual Balm Star with 0.5 teaspoons of warm oil. It is advisable to do this procedure at night and wrapped up in a warm scarf.

Such treatment should last at least a week, and oil instillation should be performed for 2 weeks in order to prevent repeated outbreaks of the disease. These procedures improve blood flow in the sinuses, remove all harmful contents, prevent the appearance of edema and relieve headaches.

7 Why the pain did not go away after recovery

Sometimes the head continues to hurt after maxillary sinusitis. There are several reasons for this phenomenon:

1. Uncomplicated sinusitis. When trying to cure a disease without the participation of a qualified specialist, it is not always possible to get rid of it. Sometimes sinusitis passes into the stage of remission, then the main symptoms disappear, but only for a while. Soon the infection will again become active and become chronic, and all the symptoms will return.
2. Complications. In the acute form of sinusitis complications can not always be diagnosed, so after discharge, the patient may find laryngitis, rhinitis or meningitis. In addition, because of the weakening of immunity, it is very easy to catch a new infection.
3. Too low a pain threshold. If during the treatment of sinusitis in the hospital a puncture was made and the patient has a low pain threshold, this can cause various neurological disorders, up to a permanent migraine.
4. Damage to nerve endings. Sometimes inept doctors, making a puncture, accidentally damage a bundle of nerves, which are very much in the nasal mucosa. This can be the cause not only of discomfort, but also of vegetative-vascular dystonia.

It is very important to consult a specialist on time to avoid complications or side effects. Only by observing the rules established by a qualified doctor can you get rid of a headache and sinusitis.
