Understanding Sinusitis and Symptoms

• Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, often causing forehead pain due to pressure buildup.

Current Treatment and Its Role

• Steam inhalation helps clear nasal passages. Hatric 3 combines caffeine, diphenhydramine, paracetamol, and phenylephrine to relieve cold symptoms.

Additional Treatment Options

• Consider using nasal decongestant sprays like oxymetazoline for short-term relief.
• Saline nasal irrigation can help clear nasal passages.
• Use pain relievers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen for additional pain management.

When to Seek Medical Attention

• Consult a doctor if symptoms persist beyond 10 days, if you experience a high fever, or if pain worsens.

Possible Need for Antibiotics

• Antibiotics are necessary only if a bacterial infection is suspected.

Supportive Care and Lifestyle Tips

• Stay hydrated, rest, and avoid irritants to support recovery.

Medical Specialties Involved

• Consider seeing an ENT specialist if symptoms persist or worsen.

Important Precautions

• Avoid overusing decongestant sprays to prevent rebound congestion.
