Q: i was blowing my nose , when suddenly the left side of my head started hurting and is really uncomfortable. how can i make it feel better ? how long does it lasts?

: Most likely you forced air into a partly blocked sinus. Pretty soon (probably no more than a few hours) it will flow out and/or be absorbed, equalizing pressure, and pain will clear up. Contact your doctor if it lasts more than 24 hours.
