Sinus Headache Treatments for Everyone

Headache treatments remain an evergreen topic for web content, not least because they remain an evergreen ailment among the American populace. Headaches strike hundreds of millions of Americans each year, in ways that are either chronic, acute, or otherwise impossible to ignore.

This article includes some sound advice about how to manage the pain of a headache, even it you aren’t sure which kind you have. The most common types of headache are sinus, cluster, and migraine, but other types may be due to the lingering pain of an injury, or the onset of a more serious disease.

This passage highlights a few of the unique circumstances under which a headache warrants immediate medical attention, and should be committed to memory by anyone in a high-risk group for these symptoms:

A severe headache with fever, a stiff neck and rash may be a sign of meningitis, a condition in which the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord become inflamed.

A sudden headache that feels like a blow to the back of the head could be a subarachnoid hemorrhage, in which bleeding occurs between the membranes covering the brain.

In elderly people, a headache with tenderness of the scalp or temple may be due to temporal arteritis, in which blood vessels in the head become inflamed.

I would add that acute sinus pain that lasts for weeks and spreads throughout the face is a danger sign as well, especially when accompanied by cognitive symptoms or impairment.
