How To Treat Pressure On The Nasal Cavity After Having An Head Injury?
I got into the car awkwardly and bumped the side of my head. My head hurt for a few minutes, but I had no problem driving home (no dizziness, nausea, or anything like that). It s now close to an hour later--my head doesn t bother me, but I m feeling real pressure in my nasal cavity, or as if pressing on the sides of my nostrils. Any thoughts?
