[|Human|] I have a sinus infection. I m on antibiotics. I only have pressure on my forehead no where else. No sore throat and no runny nose. I smoke half a pack a day as I have for that last 2 years. I m 20. Can smoking irritate the sinus infection? Even if it s only in my head
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The smoking is definitely going to increase the symptom of sinus infection because it is going to increase the pressure within the air filled spaces in the bone an increases the symptom of sinus infection. During the sinus infection the air filled spaces will be replaced by the fluid because of the infection, and it will produce the symptoms of the sinus infection. For your symptoms I would suggest you to follow 1. Steam inhalation with Vapocaps2. Avoid smoking3. Antibiotics like Autoclave 625 mg, twice daily for 5 days. Thank you.
