What Causes Persistent Pain And Pressure In The Head Despite Treating Sinusitis?

My sinuses are open, nose is running yet I still have pressure and pain. Pain is in the front under eyes, middle forehead and back head and neck. Had swollen glands under tongue outward, up to ears. Have been on antibiotics for 4 days now. Started Flonase 4 days ago. Low grade fever, 99.5 off and on. Sore throat is gone and glands have receded.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that open sinuses, runny nose and pain and pressure under the eyes and middle of the forehead seems to be most probably due to inflammation and infection in sinuses leading to Sinusitis and as there are large sinuses present in the forehead and cheek area therefore there is pain and pressure experienced..

Fever and swollen lymph nodes is also due to infection..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist 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 information helps..

Thanks and regards.
