To work properly, the sinuses need adequate mucus drainage.  A deviated septum may cause blockage of the sinuses on that side to the point that the sinuses do not drain as well.  This can cause swelling of the nasal and sinus passages.  As the sinuses become swollen, the drainage openings that lead from each sinus into the nose become blocked.  Both the swelling and the mucus that accumulates in the sealed-off sinus can cause pressure and congestion.  This is a possible explanation of the facial pressure you are feeling over your cheeks and across your forehead.  This can also cause dizziness.

The goal of treatment is to decrease the swelling in the nose and sinus openings, so that sinus drainage improves.  Nasal decongestants or combination antihistamine/decongestants may help with this.  Please discuss these medicines with your doctor to determine which would be most helpful for you.

A nasal wash helps remove mucus and bacteria from the nose and sinuses.  This can temporarily reduce symptoms of sinus pressure.  A prescription nasal steroid spray can decrease nasal swelling and mucus production.  This will prolong the decrease in sinus pressure and improve sinus drainage.  A nasal steroid spray does not provide immediate relief of symptoms.  It may require several weeks of routine use to become effective.  To help the nasal steroid spray work better, use it regularly after doing the nasal wash.  Please read our Nasal Wash MedFact at http://www.nationaljewish.org/medfacts/nasal.html for more information about this technique.  Share this information with your doctor to see if doing nasal washes regularly would be helpful for you.
