 [ Symptoms ] should i stop using prescribed saline nasal spray for severe sinus infection if it only makes symptoms worse  my dr used a camera to look into my nasal cavity after i have been dealing with sinus issues for months and told me that it was extremely swollen and she could see a lot of puss she could not see where the puss was coming from so she prescribed i take antibiotics and flush my sinuses with over the counter saline spray problem is that every time i use the saline spray if makes my head hurt 10 times worse for almost an hour i have been using it a few times a day for 4 days and still hurts badly [ Disease ] hi if any medicines dont work on you then exercises yoga and meditation seem best for you avoid taking anti epileptic tablets without a pin point diagnosis gastritis is also known to cause headaches and taking antacids daily may well help you reduce the symptoms thanks
