I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing such intense headache and sinus pressure. These symptoms can be quite distressing.
Your description suggests you might be dealing with frontal sinusitis, which is inflammation or infection of the frontal sinuses causing pressure and pain in the forehead area. This can lead to a severe headache feeling like pressure or fullness.
For relief, over-the-counter pain medications containing paracetamol (acetaminophen) combined with caffeine can help reduce pain and improve absorption, providing faster relief. One such medication is a combination tablet designed for headache relief. However, it is important to use these medications as directed and avoid exceeding the recommended dose.
Here are some general recommendations:
If your headache worsens, is accompanied by fever, vision changes, swelling around the eyes, or does not improve with initial treatment, please consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist promptly. They can evaluate for possible sinus infection requiring specific treatment such as antibiotics.
If the headache feels unbearable or you experience neurological symptoms like weakness, confusion, or difficulty speaking, seek emergency medical care immediately.
Please consider seeing an ENT doctor for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
