Hi doctor,

I have a problem-related flight landing. I have experienced a sudden and sharp pain in the eyebrows in 3 out of 10 flights. It is very painful. I have noticed it happens when I have a cold and cough. I searched on the internet and got to know aerosinusitis or barosinusitis. How to prevent it with medicine? Will Betahistine or vertigo tablet work?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com

Aerosinusitis or barosinusitis (mucus membrane inflammation due to pressure difference within the sinus) is usually if there is mucosal hypertrophy in the paranasal sinuses. You should get a CT scan paranasal sinuses done and send me the pictures. Secondly, next time before you land, try using a nasal spray half an hour before landing. If there is any nasal pathology on CT scan, then it should be corrected.
