I have inferior turbinate hypertrophy, one side of the nose is always blocked. My ent says it is a minor issue and has given me decongestants. However I also experience very bad headaches in the forehead, eye movement also gets restricted in such scenarios. Need help in understanding this relationship between nose and headaches and what can be done to reduce them.

You may be suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis which is common type of chronic nose and sinus inflammatory condition. Blockage of frontal sinus opening can cause headaches. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy and CT scan of paranasal sinuses will confirm the diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
