It sinusitis/Sinus infection. A Google search would help you understand the infection. It been over three plus weeks now I've been battling this infection.

The first time it started over three weeks ago my mom rushed me to a healthcare centre and that where I was told I've frontal sinusitis. My head seems as it it wants to explode... The pain is out of this world, it feels as if something is breathing in my forehead that is causing extreme pain. I was given antibiotic injection for three days and some drugs..... The drugs just relief me of the pain for some hours then it starts again.

So as the doctor told me and with my research, this infection is chronic (long term) and it been taking a big part of my life. I'm just 20 and I don't know my this is happening to me ... I've been living on pain relief/anti-inflammatory drugs for the past three weeks now .. I'm confused I don't know what to do.

It 2Am now and I can't even sleep๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ขthe pain

I'm sorry you're experiencing this pain. Chronic sinusitis can be challenging, but there are steps you can take to manage and potentially alleviate the condition. Here's what you can try:

1. Consult a Specialist
Visit an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for a detailed evaluation. You may need imaging tests like a CT scan to understand the extent of the infection and check for any blockages or abnormalities.

2. Medications
Antibiotics: If the infection is bacterial, the correct antibiotic regimen may be necessary for a longer duration.
Steroids: A doctor may prescribe nasal sprays or oral steroids to reduce inflammation.
Decongestants: These can help drain your sinuses but should not be used for more than a few days without medical advice.
Pain Management: Continue with pain relief but only as prescribed to avoid overuse.

3. Nasal Irrigation
Use a saline nasal spray or perform nasal irrigation with a neti pot to flush out mucus and allergens from your sinuses. Make sure to use sterile or distilled water to avoid contamination.

4. Steam Inhalation
Inhale steam from a bowl of hot water or use a humidifier to loosen mucus and ease nasal congestion. Add essential oils like eucalyptus or menthol for added relief.

5. Hydration
Drink plenty of water to thin mucus and promote drainage. Avoid alcohol and caffeine as they can dehydrate you.

6. Warm Compress
Apply a warm compress to your forehead and nose to relieve pressure and pain.

7. Lifestyle Adjustments
Avoid Allergens and Irritants: Stay away from smoke, dust, and strong odors that can worsen your condition.
Elevate Your Head: Sleep with your head elevated to promote sinus drainage.

8. Surgical Intervention (If Necessary)
If medication and home remedies don't help, surgery (e.g., endoscopic sinus surgery) might be recommended to remove blockages and improve sinus drainage.

Warning Signs to Seek Immediate Help:
Severe or worsening headache
High fever
Vision changes
Swelling around the eyes or forehead

Chronic sinusitis can often be managed with the right treatment plan. Donโ€™t lose hope, and ensure you follow up with a specialist.

Sinusitis is not curable, you can only manage it

Some people are living with it throughout their lives.

If goes and comes, mostly due to allergies, check your surrounding what is triggering it.

Take meds and donโ€™t think about it.

Don't try this. You would likely make things worse. Based on what I know though

Go see a specialist Ear, nose and throat surgeon. Chronic sinusitis is quite stubborn and all u need mostly is symptomatic relief, not even antibiotic. They might even consider surgery at the extreme.

Did you run a test to confirm if it is caused by a virus or bacteria.
Sinusitis can be acute or chronic.
It can sometimes go away.

Doctor Explains Why Fasting Could Be Your Ultimate Health Hack

To start, and thats, beginning with today, eliminate having sugar (i.e. no sugar, no more sugar intake)

I'll advance to stay clear of antiobitics, but moves towards probiotics, fermented food like sauerkraut et cetera

Change you eating lifestyle and habits. Stay clear off processed food (e.g. food from the factories), go for natural and live food (e.g. food from the farms)

Try importantly, to start with a one day dry fast

U might have blockage stopping the sinus from draining,u might need a minor surgery to correct that , if it drains properly the tendency for infection will be less
