A member asked:

I've had like a sinus problem for 6 months i took sudafed sinus tablets when i had a headache they helped does that mean it's a sinus thing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: Sudafed helps the sinus drain but is not good to take daily. If this is still a problem see an ent--you may need sinus surgery/drainage.
