Q. My head hurts when I blow my nose. Why?
Hello doctor,
I am an 18 year old female. My height is 167 cm and weight is 53 kg. I have had headaches and pain in the eyes for the last two days. My nose has been blocked for about a week now and every time I blow my nose, my head hurts a lot. It also hurts when I shake my head.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query.
I believe you are suffering from sinusitis. The drainage from the bony sinuses is blocked due to blockage of the nose and this is causing a headache. I suggest you consult an ENT (ear, nose and throat specialist), who will recommend an X-ray of the paranasal sinuses.
You can use Xylometazoline nasal drops twice daily for two to three days. That will decongest the nose and relieve you of a headache.
