What could cause sinus pain, nosebleeds, and ear blockage?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 21 years old and have been experiencing pain in my sinuses when I touch them, a congested nose that bleeds, pulsing in my temples, and ear blockage. This started two weeks ago. What could it be?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
I am sorry to hear about your condition, but I am glad you are paying attention to the changes in your body. Do not worry, I am here to help you. Based on your symptoms, it seems you may have acute sinusitis, which is an inflammation of the sinus cavities caused by bacteria or a viral infection. This can spread to your ears and other nearby areas because the nose is connected to the ears, throat, and eyes.
I recommend the following treatment:
- Take two tablets of Acyclovir 800 milligrams twice a day for one week.
- Take two tablets of Metronidazole 400 milligrams three times a day for one week.
- Do steam inhalation twice a day for one week.
If you have any further concerns or questions, feel free to schedule a direct appointment or follow up with me via chat, phone, or video consultation. I hope you are satisfied with my answer.
Thank you.
