Sinus headaches are caused by sinus infections, and treating the underlying cause is the best way to get rid of them. Here are some ways to relieve sinus pressure and pain:

• Apply a warm compress: Applying a warm compress to painful areas of your face can help reduce inflammation and relieve pressure in the sinus cavities.

• Use a decongestant: Decongestants can reduce sinus swelling and allow mucus to drain, which can help relieve sinus pressure and pain.

• Try a saline nasal spray: Saline nasal sprays or drops can moisturize the nasal passages and thin out mucus, allowing it to drain more effectively. This can help reduce sinus pressure and relieve facial pain.

• Use a humidifier: Dry air can irritate your sinuses, so using a humidifier or vaporizer can help moisten the air and relieve sinus pressure.

• Irrigate your nasal passages: Salt water irrigation is the best way to cleanse the nose and sinuses and can help prevent or relieve sinus pain. You can use an over-the-counter saline nasal spray, or a sinus rinse bottle, neti pot, or bulb syringe irrigation kit that you can get at the drugstore.

• Avoid over-the-counter nasal decongestant sprays: These sprays may give some fast relief, but after a few days, they can make sinus pressure and nasal congestion much worse.

• Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of fluids can help thin out mucus and make it easier to drain from your sinuses.

• Get enough rest: Getting enough rest can help your body fight off infections and reduce inflammation.

• Avoid allergens: If you have seasonal allergies, avoiding allergens that trigger your symptoms can help prevent sinus infections and headaches.

If your symptoms are severe or ongoing, you should contact a healthcare provider. They may recommend other medications to ease discomfort, such as painkillers, antihistamines, or prescription medication for migraines or tension-type headaches.
