Hello, I am 19 years old male. I am diagnosed with a sinus infection. It has been two days my head is throbbing and I am feeling pressure on my nose, eyes, and cheekbones. I also have congestion, taking medication has seen some improvement but it is not completely cured. My head throbbing and it is making me irritated, can anyone tell me how long is it gonna take to get normal? How long do sinus headaches last?

@beatrice Hello, Sinus headaches are caused by a buildup of pressure in sinus cavities that have become inflamed and are blocking regular mucus drainage. Sinus headaches caused by sinus infections can last up to two weeks or more, depending on the severity of your sinus infection. Although some sinus infections go away on their own. If it doesn’t get better then please take medical help. Thanks!
