I was travelling on plane. While aircraft was descending i got a sharp pain on my eyebrows, nose and area surrounding the sinus. I understand same is sinus. I have cold for past 5 days. Kindly let me know how to reduce these effects of sinusitis while travelling and how do i cure from this issue
If you take flight when you have cold it caused blockage of sinus openings because of pressure changes and can lead to intense vacuum headache in the areas of sinuses. You need to take decongestant tablets and nose drops before you take flight
