The pressure from a sinusitis infection blockage can result in a headache and be alleviated through various methods. A headache also known as cephalgia is pain in the head or neck region that may occur on one or both sides of the head, or it can be isolated in a particular location, radiate across the head from one point and have a vise like quality. A sinusitis headache is an inflammatory condition of the sinus cavities which results in obstructing the sinus passages. A sinus headache may develop due to irritation of the nerves surrounding the sinus areas that are inflamed. If there is a large obstruction in the sinus cavities, physicians will often utilize CT scans or an MRI to determine the type of blockage. Larger sinus blockages are associated with infection and likely result in fever.

Decongestants function by shrinking swollen mucous membranes that are in the nasal passageways and sinus cavity openings and provide symptom relief. The purpose of a decongestant is to allow for easy breathing during a sinus infection, unblocking the airways.
· Spray decongestants also are available and provide immediate relief are habit forming as well as inducing a rebound effect. If spray decongestants are used for too long and the medication wears off, the swelling in the nasal cavity returns and is more severe than it was prior to the last application of decongestant.
· Hence, a dependency on nasal sprays can easily develop which may require steroids to assist with the withdrawal period as well as reducing inflammation. The rebound effect from a decongestant spray can occur for anyone using a decongestant spray from a bad cold to an acute sinusitis infection.
Antihistamines are helpful in clearing up excess mucus from allergic reactions that often trigger sinusitis as well as clearing the headache that can accompany a sinusitis infection such as Benadryl or Sudafed.
Sinus irrigators are often used to cleanse the sinuses for optimum sinus and general respiratory health, but can assist with symptom reduction when a blockage is present in the sinus cavity. The purpose of a sinus irrigator is to clean out his or her sinus cavities and nasal passages as well as prevent the development of an infection. For individuals who already have a sinus problem or allergies, a sinus irrigator can help improve a preexisting condition by clearing out nasal congestion, post nasal drip and other allergens with water and saline solutions.
Many physicians prescribe oral antibiotics to treat sinusitis; oral antibiotics are currently the most common treatment prescribed for a sinusitis infection and yet they are marginally effective. Oral antibiotics unfortunately rely on the blood stream and blood vessels exclusively to carry medication to the infected sinus cavity. Relying on the sinus cavities to provide the medication through the limited supply of blood vessels is problematic as the blood vessels cannot deliver an effective dose of medication to the actual site of infection. Recurrent sinusitis infections are common with the use of oral antibiotics due to the blood vessels inability to provide an effective dose to the site of infection. The sinus cavities scant supply of blood vessels which are swollen and infected providing all the treatment to the infection results in an ineffective method for treating this area of the body. In short, it is difficult to effectively treat any sinusitis infection with oral antibiotics.
