Coincidentally, I had lately been suffering somewhat frequent sinus headaches. They were quite persistent, though I didn't have any drainage... just a painful, full sinus pressure and ache. So, for some reason or another, I remembered to take my Nystatin for the day... which I hadn't been taking. BAM! Headache subsided within a couple of hours and felt better than I had for weeks. Was surprised at how quickly it changed. Did a little research on web, found Mayo Clinic mention of suspected fungal origin of sinus infections. Now taking my Nystatin, my sinuses have softened up and my nose is now running a bit. No headache to speak of. So perhaps you had a fungal issue with your sinuses that Nystatin is now addressing.

- I agree. Diflucan is the one I would think would hit the sinuses. Nystatin usually works in the gut only. But... if you've got it bad, it's going to help.
