I am having pressure and pain in my head,ear and neck for 6 months.Actually i am having sinus from past four years .Every time I use to get sinus there is also pressure and pain in my head but I became normal after my sinuses became good .But for this time when i had sinus 6 months back, my sinuses became good within 2 weeks but the pressure and pain in my head,ear and neck is still there.I remember that I travelled by plane when I got sinus this time before 6 months and I had acute pain in my ears when the flight was decending .I have been consulting family practice doctor from past six month but there is no improvement.I will be very grateful to u if u help me

Hello,

Chronic sinusitis is a common and troublesome condition. I would advise you the following:
- Visit an ENT specialist
- Get a CT scan of your sinuses
- Get evaluated for mastoiditis

Mastoids are located behind the ears. In people with recurrent sinusitis, these can get infected and cause pain in the head, neck and around the ears. You need to get this checked and treated.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pranav Balakrishnan, General & Family Physician
