Sinus Headache Medicine

Sinus headache medicine may provide sinus headache relief. Sinusitus might be confused with migraine headache. Searching for sinus headache relief can be frustrating. If mild it may respond to rest and a short course (a week or less) of OTC medications.

Over the counter anti-inflammatories may help as will decongestants. If you suspect that you have an infection, please see your doctor.

If these sinus headache symptoms are a sinus infection, it is usually accompanied by nasal discharge, chills and a fever. The headache itself feels more like severe pressure across the forehead and around the nose. If very severe, your teeth might even hurt!

Other sinus headache medication such as pseudofed could help if used short term (1-2 weeks). However, be aware that many of these medications, if used longer than that can acutally worsen headaches.

Pseudofed is one of the worse offenders when used long term. It raises blood pressure, causes anxiety (reaaallly great if you already have a headache), and insomnia. A more holistic approach for sinus infection treatment is to use a Sinus wash system with a Neti Pot.
