Sinusitis: Sounds like you have some fluid in your sinuses and it's inflamed. Now we need to figure out if it's  viral, bacterial, allergic or rarely fungal.

Question 2

any useful advice for sinus pain?

Accepted Answer

Get rid of...: Antibiotics may need to be used, but you need regular sinus x-rays to see if you do have sinusitis.  It could be allergic, or infectious, or both.  Decongestants will help, as will mucolytic agents. Aleve (naproxen) should ehlp, and a brief stint on Prednisone may be in order! see your doctor!

Question 3

what are some remedies for sinus pain?

Accepted Answer

Root cause ?: That is difficult to answer without much more information. Sinus pain is a very generic term. This implies pain or pressure in the face. There could be a multitude of causes. My advice is that you need to see your primary care doctor, an ENT specialist, and possibly a neurologist to assess this problem. No simple remedies can be offered.

Question 4

why do i have so much sinus pain when fall comes?

Accepted Answer

Congestion: Sinus membranes swell and secrete mucous which fills the sinus.  This creates the same scenareo as an abscess.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sinusitis/allergic rhinitis can be treated with antibiotics for sinus infection and inhaled steroids(beclamethasone)/antihistamines (e.g. Astelin). Cough is often due to bronchitis/airway hyperreactivity and can be treated with inhaled steroids/antibiotics and stepwise asthma treatment. Evalution could start with breathing function tests, xrays (chest/sinuses), cultures of throat/sinus/sputum.

Sinus pain: Sinus pain =    discomfort in cavities in the head &amp; face. This may be due to  congestion or infection of the sinuses. See this article on sinus headaches:  http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sinus-headaches/basics/definition/CON-20025426

Question 7

what measures can be taken at home to relieve sinus pain?

Accepted Answer

Hot moist towels: Again, anything that increases your circulation will speed up and increase healing.  Use hot most towels over the face to increase the circulation.  Although this sounds a bit to the contrary, using a spray decongestant such as afrin, neo-synephrine, 4-way, or Vicks for a few days can constrict the swollen vessels in the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity and sinus openings and give relief.
