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?

Thank you for choosing HCM

It seems that you have sinusitis. Let us start with some home remedies and some basic medication to help you:
Inhale steam mixed with eucalyptus oil to help clear the sinuses
Take Tablet Cetirizine 10 mg to help you prevent nasal secretion

Try this for 5 days and then follow up. All the best.
Hope this helps you
