Sieve bone cells

I had a DVT done. I have a sinus infection that is already improving, but I still have pressure in the back of my head, that's why it was done. Is the pressure due to the ethmoid cells? What can be done about it? Greetings

Dear questioner, sinusitis can cause nasty headaches that can last for a while beyond the actual inflammation. Symptoms radiating to the back of the head are more likely caused by the sphenoid sinus or the cervical spine. When the symptoms are subsiding, treatment with nasal spray, mucus thinner, and inhalation is recommended. Do you have any questions? Regards, Welsch
