Accepted Answer

Acute sinusitis: Can be caused by vital or bacterial infection. Is a common condition, but if you have signs or symptoms that may indicate a serious infection: severe headache confusion, double vision, stiff neck shortness of breath call your pcp. In any case is always good to see your doctor preventing future complications and decide for the proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 2

i have had a headache for a week and a half behind my eyes..  i have  sinus congestion but no drainage or fever. is this caused by a virus?

Accepted Answer

Family practice: Headache lasting that long should be evaluated. It could be sinus pressure , allergies , or infection from viruses and bacteria. But it could be sign of something even more serious.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

See details: Have a pediatrician evaluate the problem. She likely has an ear infection.

Question 4

my 14 mo old has a fever and thick yellow drainage from his nose and his corners of his eyes. his face looks swollen. could this be allergies or sinus?

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis: Sounds like a sinus infection. Definitely not allergy that produces thin watery mucous. It could just be a cold if present for only a few days but a swollen face should always be promptly brought to the attention of a physician who can perform a physical examination and, if necessary, perform lab or x-ray tests. Call now.

Question 5

i have horrible seasonal allergies. today is really bad and i have copious sinus drainage. could that be cause of my bowel movement being mushy tonight? i feel fine except the runny itchy nose eyes and throat

Accepted Answer

Yes: Swallowing copious sinus drainage could cause irritation in your intestines, causing mushy bowel movements.  Try doing saline nasal washes daily during the peak allergy season. It will clear out mucus and debris which collect in your nasal passages and cause irritation and inflammation. You should already be on an antihistamine (claritin or zyrtec) as well as a steroid nasal spray (flonase).

Question 6

past 2 days i have  a sinus headache, congestion, drainage, and ear " fullness". i  have glaucoma, and r/eye is very red, puffy and draining. i am a 100% s/c vet, should i visit emergency ?

Accepted Answer

Draining eye: Yes. Could be a potentially serious infection.

Question 7

sinus pressure and drainage for 3+weeks. this a.m. have severe pain in my left cheek, pain when blinking my eye and pain to eat. what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Probable sinusitis: You didn't mention if you were treated for this.  It sounds like you have a sinus infection (sinusitis).  Sinuses are  large "cavities' in the facial bones and infection and inflammation put pressure on face, in all directions, so your eye and teeth symptoms are consistent with sinusitis.  You should probably be on decongestants and antibiotics for at least 14 days.

Question 8

pain near the ear area, headche above left eye, nose feels lil stuffed from inside bt no runny nose or discharge, do i have sinus?

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell: If you have had these symptoms for more than 2 weeks, it is best to get evaluated by your doctor.  It is impossible to say whether sinusitis is the cause.

Question 9

forehead and left eye pain. mri from '09 cyst on left sinus. left nostril always congested, produce discolor discharge, bad smell. chronic sinusitis?

Accepted Answer

Chronic sinusitis: This is very possible, but without an exam and imaging studies that are current it is impossible to diagnose. Certainly the symptoms you describe are compatible but before making assumptions you should be seen and evaluated by an ENT doctor.

Question 10

what can i do about sinus pain around my eyes  ?

Accepted Answer

Anatomy: Sinuses are below, above, and inbetween your eyes.  Inflammed sinus linings or infected sinuses can cause eye pressure.  Treat the sinuses!  steam your sinuses, take decongestants, and possibly antibiotics.
