I have mucus accumulation in sinus with pressure and headache. Kindly help.

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 30-year-old male. Ever since my 20s, I have had a constant, uncomfortable accumulation of mucus in my sinuses, and the pressure would cause headaches.

And I eventually learned to suck it out of my sinus into my mouth to spit out or swallow. And I continuously do that now all day. I cannot feel any air passage in my ears when I yawn, with some vague crackling sounds.

Kindly assist.

I have read your query and can understand your concerns.

I want to ask you

What is the color of the mucus?
Is it white, yellow, or green?
Do you have a fever?
Do you have any chronic disease like diabetes?

Please answer these questions so that I can answer you better.

Thank you.

Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have read your query.

Yes, you have to continue the nasal spray until the last puff. I think that it is allergic rhinitis (an inflammatory, immune-mediated reaction to allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander, causing chronic sneezing, congestion, a runny nose, and itchy eyes).

The next step, if the intranasal corticosteroid spray does not work well, would be immunotherapy. You can add an oral antihistamine, such as Loratidine tablets, once daily until the end of symptoms. Drink warm fluids, as it can make the mucus more liquid to be easily expelled.

I hope this answers your query.

Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
