A member asked:
After 5 days of 40 mg predisone should my sinus headaches be improved or gone?

Typical treatment for Sinusitis which causes sinus headaches is not prednisone, but warm saline nasal washes, nasal decongestants and occasionally antibiotics. Prednisone may help open bronchial nasal passages, but does not typically open nasal passages. In addition, any steroid may interfere with the body's immune response to infection.

Not clear that you have "sinus headaches", and as has been stated, prednisone, in most cases, has no role in treating acute or chronic sinusitis. At this point, you might consider second opinion from a neurologist.
