i'm sorry to hear you're going through this. sinus pain can feel so miserable! sinusitis is an inflammation (swelling) of the tissue that lines the sinus cavities. this swelling of the tissue can cause the cavities to fill with fluid which causes pressure and pain (and sometimes an infection). sinusitis can be caused by allergies nasal polyps a deviated septum or even smoke in the environment. i hope your doctor has examined you to see if you have nasal polyps. while polyps aren't extremely common in 14 year olds they're not unheard of. if you have not been examined for polyps you might ask your parents to get you an appointment with an ear-nose-throat doctor for an exam. meanwhile there are some things you can try at home to relieve your symptoms including: using a vaporizer (warm mist) in your bedroom (be sure to clean it regularly because these devices can sometimes grow mold) inhaling steam such as from a pan of hot (not boiling) water warm compresses (wash rag soaked in very warm water) laid across the eyes/bridge of the nose saline nose drops (available over the counter) if there is a smoker in your household this could be a cause of your symptoms. if possible spend as much time as you can in a smoke-free environment. because pets and other allergies can make sinusitis symptoms worse try to keep your bedroom pet-free and make sure to vacuum or mop and dust regularly. i hope one or more of these tips brings you some relief!
what should i do for the pain and to cure my sinusitus? . i have been having sinusitus the past year and a half and my head is really hurting. i have had so many antibiotics and nasal sprays but none of them are working. i am 14 years old i have asked my doctor if i can do surgery but he said no because it will come back because i am still growing. i have also taked tylenol but it doesnt work.
