Sinus Headache Remedy

Medicine can suppress herpes

Dear Dr. Donohue: I have a question about Valtrex and genital herpes.

I had a few outbreaks of herpes in a year and was advised to take this medicine daily to suppress them. I have been taking it for two years. It gives me peace of mind, but I worry about permanent side effects. Can you take it less often? Once a week? What happens if I stop taking it completely?

Dear Anon.: The herpes virus lives in an affected person for life. Those who suffer frequent recurrences or painful outbreaks have the option of suppressing those outbreaks by taking Valtrex (valacyclovir), Famvir (famciclovir) or Zovirax (acyclovir).

One method is episodic treatment, taking the medicine only at the first signs or symptoms of an outbreak. A second method is chronic suppressive therapy, the daily use of medicine to prevent outbreaks. The safe length of time for this therapy hasn't been established. A third option is to take no medicine if the outbreaks are not terribly painful or if they do not occur frequently.

Psychological distress and lessening the chance for spreading the virus are two other reasons for suppressive treatment.

No one can predict what will happen if you stop completely. You might have a few yearly occurrences, as you did in the past. Side effects from these drugs include headache, nausea and stomach pain. Serious side effects, which are quite rare, are blood clots, a decrease in blood platelets and kidney damage. Taking the drugs once a week doesn't work

You and your doctor have to decide if daily medication is appropriate for you.

Dear Dr. Donohue: After two days of sinus headaches, I awoke with double vision. Doctors admitted me to a stroke ward. Then they determined that I had damage to cranial nerve III (3) and partial damage to IV (4). Can you shed some light on what happened?

Dear D.D.: The eyes view objects from a slightly different position. To fuse the images they get into a single picture, the six eye muscles of each eye and the three nerves that control them have to align the eyes in exact positions. If one or more muscles or one or more nerves are out of whack, people see two images.

Sinus Headache Relief

There are many sinus headache reliefs which are available in order to reduce sinus headaches. Some of them are: the use of decongestants – this helps to reduce the soreness in the air spaces and also clears out the mucus in the nasal passage. The use of hot and cold packs will also help to get relief from sinus headaches. Drinking water to keep your self hydrated will also help to cure sinus headaches as it helps to mitigate the mucus that may have been blocked in the nasal passage. Consuming food which contains vitamin C will also help to get relief from sinus headaches as vitamin C helps to reduce cold and other respiratory infections as it contains antioxidants. The consumption of hot steam or bowl of hot water will also help to reduce sinus headaches.
