[size=4][b]How to Clear Sinuses - Sinus Headache Symptoms - is It Sinus or Migraine?[/b][/size][hr]Sinus headache symptoms are so common that many people just shorten the phrase to "I have sinus." This can encompass anything from pain around the eyes and nose to runny nose, nasal congestion, watery eyes, sore throat, fever, chills and fatigue. The problem arises when the person has allergies and perhaps even migraine headaches. Then the situation is really muddled! Which is it: sinus infections, sinusitis or migraine?

Quote:[list][*]Another way to differentiate between the migraines and sinus headaches is through a CT of the sinuses or an MRI.[*]If the results show clear sinuses, then the headaches are most probably migraines.[/list]

When the discharge is colored then the infection is most probably bacterial but rarely it may be fungal.

Treatment for sinus infections should come from a medical provider if the fever is over 100.5F and the symptoms have lasted longer than 10 days. Certain antibiotics can be very effective for sinus infections and allergy treatment responds to lifestyle changes and medications. Don't forget smoking! This makes all types of headaches even worse and increases the risk of infections. Sinus headache may also respond to short term use of decongestants and plenty of fluids. Either way, figuring out which type of headache is present is the best way to treat the problem instead of just taking multiple medications in the hope they will help. Big Grin.

Risk factors for sinusitis and therefore sinus smell metallic include asthma, and chronic pulmonary (lung) problems such as cystic fibrosis. So what about the migraine debate? How in the world can you tell the difference and know if it is a migraine? Since 40% of all migraines start around the nose and eye it can be a bit confusing. This is made worse by the fact that pseudofed products will treat the nasal congestion that comes with migraine and relieve the headache a bit.
