Question 1

what can my grandfather take for a sinus headache, when he takes medication for parkinsons?

Accepted Answer

Soe meds are safe: Tylenol, (acetaminophen) antihistamines(eg Claritin alavert etc, not with "d") should not react with his parkinsons meds.  Prescription nasal steroids are also helpful.  Frequently "sinus" headaches are actually migraines and are treated much differently.  He should discuss this with his primary care doc.

Question 2

how do i get rid of a bad sinus headache without medication?

Accepted Answer

Water, water, water: You might want to try drinking a lot of water so your body is well hydrated. The theory is that mucous will be made thinner, and may have a better chance of clearing out. The 2nd use of water would be a hot shower or 'steam treatment' - take your time soaking up the steam, it should help open up the sinus passages and thereby relieve the headache. 3rd, a wet hot facecloth  over the headache areas.

Question 3

on average, how long will a sinus headache last?

Accepted Answer

Deviated septum: Migraine like headache or sinus pain can be caused by a bone spur in the nose. A ct scan of the sinuses is indicated and if the spur is present a septoplasty to remove it is indicated. I provide relief to almost 90% of patients with this problem.
