Hello Doctor,� I have been having stuffy and blocked nose for quite some time now. I am having trouble in sleeping properly during the night and when I wakeup I have extreme headache. During the day, I have constant headache, with a feeling of drowsiness. I also have trouble concetrating and issues with remembering stuff. I had a septoplasty surgery 5 years back and since then the symptoms are still the same. I had a CT scan done 4 months back.

Dear lybrate-user, You might be suffering from Acute sinusitis. Which is resulting in severe throbing type of headache. You need not to worry. You just need to take proper antibiotic ,which is used in treating these type of infections. And you will be fine in few days. It is blocking of your sinuses which is hampering your studies & is needed to be taken care of. You need to do as I say & you will start feeling better- 1) Practice Steam inhalation 1-2 times a day. 2) Wear socks & gloves as precautionary measures. 3) Avoid late night shifts & take adequate 8 hr sleep. 4)Luke Warm saline water (Halka garm namak-paani) gargles twice daily. 5) Herbal tea in evening (with Tulsi leaves) 6) For acute nasal congestion (Naak poora band ho jaana) you need some nasal drops/sprays & antiallergic medicines. You need to take private consultation for this as medical stores won't provide them without priscription. .Be in touch ,we will see what need to be done. Taking complete course would help you to get permanent releif from this problem.
