Why Having Nasal Sound, Sinus Feeling And Pulsating When Not Having Cold?

Yes, I have had many colds this winter. I have a two yr. old grandchild who I spend lots of time with. He goes to daycare and the kids pass colds around. I have a nasally sound all the time but don t seem to have a cold. My head feels heavy and my sinuses are full feeling and pulsate at times. Just wondering what is up and what I can do? I tried a reactine today but it hasn t changed anything.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to acute exacerbation of Sinusitis.
Investigations like complete blood count & X-ray of paranasal sinus will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

Management includes:
1. Steam inhalation.
2. Analgesics like paracetamol
3. Nasal decongestant drops.
4. Antibiotics depending upon culture & sensitivity reports to remove the causative organism.
5. Antihistamine preparations can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.
6. Maintain adequate hydration & a healthy balance diet.
7. Also make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.

Your symptoms will be relieved with this.
Wish you good health & a speedy recovery.
Take care.
