Sinus Infection Symptoms Causing my CHeeks to Feel Kinda WEird?

Question

Been feeling weird since Friday. Could not go to the doc today. Wanna call him and ask him about my symptoms tommorow. Since Friday night my left side of my face has felt kinda"tight" and "pulling", and it comes and goes. The nostril on that side of my face kinda hurts and seem infected. I have no other symptoms and do not have a cold or mucus. Can this be from my sinuses in my face? I have heard sometimes sinus problems in the facial area can cause numb/tingly/tight/pulling etc. Anyone know?

Answer 1

Hi there, sounds to me you have sinusitis.Sinusitis simply means your sinuses are infected or inflamed. You have four main areas in your face where sinuses (hollow air pockets) in your face, they are,
Frontal sinuses over the eyes in the brow area
Maxillary sinuses inside each cheekbone
Ethmoid sinuses just behind the bridge of the nose and between the eyes
Sphenoid sinuses behind the ethmoids in the upper region of the nose and behind the eyes.

There are lots of ways to treat this problem, from home remedies such as inhaling steam, to vaporising eucalyptus. But i would suggest you see your Doctor ASAP for decongestants etc before it becomes painfull.

I get sinus infections frequently and I notice my cheeks get red when I have an infection. I don't notice a tightness but everyone responds differently. I suggest you use a saline rinse and wash your sinuses out. If you see green--then you have an infection. It is also possible you have an allergy--similar problem. If it is clear and watery--it is allergy not sinus infection.

i don,t know exactly what your own symptoms are caused from,but if it is a sinus related problem then make sure you are not given any form of anti-biotics at all!! which is what most "drs" will want to give you. the mayo clinic and all dr desk referance books they have available to them,easily/readily,will verify that 98% of all sinus problems is caused by a fungus not a bacteria,as is what an anti-biotic will attack,along with all your other good/friendly own bacteria,that is a big part of your own immune sys.anti-bios only help in a bacterial problem,not a viral or fungal infection.the major health problem today in the usa,over use of anti-bios,causing mutated fungal and virals that can and will eventually destroy the host,that being the human body...
