10yr old with migraines and sinus problems

[bigdonna]

does anyone have any advice on sinus problems in a ten yr old.he has suffered with migraines since aged 6 .he had an mri scan in july which showed sinus problems.He was off school for 31/2 months with this ,he finds it really hard to go to sleep.He takes nurofen and put olbas oil on pillow,any advice would be helpful thanks donna

My 20yo dd1 has had sinus problems for ages, and also painful teeth. Her dr put her on a nasal spray for rhinitis and wow, what a difference to her sinus problem!! She no longer sniffs all the time and her speech no longer sounds as though she has a Grade A cold. As your ds's migraine seems connected to sinus, maybe a nasal spray may help?

yes, I would second suedonim's suggestion.

See if the GP can come up with something or get him referred to an ENT.

thanks for the advice he has been seeing a consultant at ent for 2 yrs now.they put him on medication which was too strong and had very bad side effects.i will ask for a spray though we have had nasal sprays in the past.the mri scan says he has sinus problems in his nose and in the head ,thanks for your advice though
