Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! My granddaughter has been experiencing pain in both temples and the Tianmen acupoints every night from 8:30 PM to around 11:00 PM since January of this year. When the pain occurs, her hands clench into fists, and her palms sweat. She was taken to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University in Jiangxi for two check-ups. The first one in March was diagnosed as a sinusitis-induced headache. After taking medication for several months, the condition did not improve and instead became worse. The second check-up was from December 17th to 22nd, during which she was examined for a week and the result was insufficient blood supply due to tiny blood vessels.Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by sinusitis. Medication treatment emphasizes the selection of sensitive antibiotics, with sufficient dosage and duration. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment focuses on dispersing wind and clearing heat, promoting aromatic ventilation, with detoxification and removing blood stasis as supplementary measures. Regular physical exercise should be strengthened to enhance immunity. Activities such as morning runs, swimming, cold showers, and cold face washing can improve physical fitness and increase the body's tolerance to cold.
