Dear Ms
Fullness in paranasal sinuses associated with infection can cause pain radiating to head. In the absence of high grade fever and neck stiffness there is no cause for concern.
I would suggest you the following which will definitely help with nasal congestion and paranasal infection
1. Steam inhalation : using a electronic steamer, steam inhalation for 15 to 20 minutes each session thrice a day will be helpful. At the end addition of Eucalyptus oil and inhaling steam for other 1 to 2 minutes will be helpful.
2. Nasal decongestants drops: Xylometazolime Nasal drops will be helpful in relieving Nasal congestion
3. Combination of Paracetamol and caffeine will be helpful for headache.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
