How to treat the pain in the temple region?
Hi doctor,
I have been struggling with this for almost three years. However, I am encouraged that the vast majority of symptoms are gone. I no longer have pain, pressure, congestion, post nasal drip, and cough. I am still struggling with my sense of smell. However, it has been improving intermittently over the past few days to maybe 80 %. Then, it weakens again. I have attached a picture to help. I have a question, though. Sometimes when I wake up, I experience pain in the temples but no pain in the face. Could this be sinuses? Another ENT told me it is likely a tension headache from teeth grinding. It disappears after I get up. Also, after a nasal rinse last night, I experienced mild pressure at the top of the head, which lasted 15 minutes. Could this be sinus related? Except for the smell and that, I feel perfect.
