Sinus migraine: A sinus headache/migraine may be caused by nasal mucosal inflammation from flare up of allergies, a cold/uri, or bacterial infection. Inflammation blocks already narrow sinus passages so that airflow and mucus drainage are disrupted. Apart from anti-inflammatories for pain control, oral and/or nasal decongestants, mucus thinners, nasal steroid sprays, saline irrigations or antibiotics can help.

Sinus Migraine: Most sinus headaches are actually migraine headaches. The "headache" associated with sinus problems is more of a pressure sensation, dull-achy. Throbbing pain is more likely migraine pain or less commonly muscle contraction pain. Try using a decongestant, such as afrin, (oxymetazoline) at the onset of your next headache. If the pain gets better, you may be having sinus triggered migraine pain. See your doctor.
