Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Sorry that I type slowly. Twice in the last year this symptom has surfaced and been a bother for about a week. I wake with a mild pain in one sinus that hurts as I breath in. If I block the air flow through that side of my nose it stops. The pain stops on its own after I've been awake for a few hours.
It seems that pain in sinus can be due to mild infection and inflammation of sinus lining.. I would suggest you to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like PNS view x ray or MRI scan can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.. You can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants like Pseudoephadrine, do saline nasal irrigation, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room.. You can also be advised decongestant nasal sprays containing Xylometazoline or Oxymetazoline.. Avoid spicy and chilled foods.. Do warm compresses around nostrils..
Hope this helps..
Regards..
