Sinus Headache – Diagnosis & Treatments

Pain Relievers

If the pain caused by a sinus headache is unbearable and excruciating, consider taking some OTC pain relievers to get immediate effects. These include naproxen, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or aspirin. They will open your airways and alleviate inflammation within 15 to 30 minutes. In addition, those drugs would help you improve many other symptoms related to this condition. Keep in mind that pain relievers are not suitable for long-term treatments because they would affect some essential functions and organs in the body. Also, avoid using them for children due to some major health risks. [8]
