I have been having frontal headaches off and on for about 2 years. They generally occur just above the bridge of my nose between my eye brows. It is a dull conitnuous pain. Once it starts , it takes days to get rid of it. My nose usually feels congested but my sinus ct scans have been clear. I have tried multiple pain meds-it eases a little for about an hour and then comes back full force. I have been told I have a deviated septum. Could this be the cause? Any suggestions of pain relief? decongestants don't work.

Hi,

Since sinusitis has been ruled out, which could have been a very likely cause, the possibility of your symptom being related to deviated nasal septum is very high. DNS is often associated with headaches.
It can be corrected with a very minor surgical procedure known as septoplasty. The surgery is peformed very quickly and recovery usually takes 2-3 weeks. You can discuss this with your ENT specialist as well Thanks
