Sinus Headaches – Symptoms & Causes

Infection

Another common cause of sinus headaches is the infection, both bacterial and viral. When these microorganisms penetrate your nasal passages, they will trigger the immune system to operate. This leads to increased inflammatory activities in the areas. And a headache is a direct result of this effect. Antibiotics tend to be the first-line treatment option for most infectious diseases. However, keep in mind that some of these medications would also trigger headaches as their side effects. Therefore, consult your doctor before taking it. [10]
