I suffer from recurring headaches and have recently completed a CT scan of my paranasal sinuses (PNS). Which specialist should I consult, and what medications are typically recommended to treat this condition?
For recurring headaches and a PNS CT scan, you should consult an Otolaryngologist (ENT specialist) to evaluate your sinuses. If the scan is clear, a Neurologist can help investigate other causes like migraines. Depending on your CT results, typical treatments may include: Nasal steroid sprays (e.g., fluticasone) to reduce inflammation. Saline nasal rinses to clear nasal passages. Pain relievers (e.g., acetaminophen or ibuprofen) for immediate headache relief. Oral antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine) if allergies are suspected. Antibiotics, only if a bacterial sinus infection is confirmed. Please share your scan results with a specialist for a personalized treatment plan.
