Jackie ‘O’ Henderson is battling some very unfortunate symptoms after falling ill with a mystery illness this week. 

The radio host, 48, complained about her health condition to Dr Sam Hay, also known as Dr KIIS, on Tuesday’s radio show, detailing symptoms such as a blocked nose and a loss of smell and taste. 

Jackie thought she was experiencing common symptoms of menopause, after her co-host Kyle Sandilands, 52, brazenly pressed her on the issue.

However, Dr Hay pointed out that Jackie’s other symptoms didn’t match up with the diagnosis of menopause. 

‘It’s not necessarily [relevant]. We don’t lose our sense of smell when it comes to the menopausal stuff,’ he explained. 

Jackie went on to reveal she’d been dealing with itchy and runny eyes. 

‘She might have hayfever, or she might have a sinus infection that’s irritating those nose nerves,’ he speculated. 

Kyle joked that Jackie had given herself a sinus infection by snorting illicit drugs during her visit to the trendy Clovelly Hotel in Sydney over the weekend.

What are the symptoms of a sinus infection?

Sinusitis, the medical term for a sinus infection, is swelling of the sinuses, usually caused by an infection.

It’s common and usually clears up on its own within two to three weeks.

Symptoms include:

  • pain, swelling and tenderness around your cheeks, eyes or forehead
  • a blocked nose
  • a reduced sense of smell
  • green or yellow mucus from your nose
  • a headache
  • a high temperature
  • toothache
  • bad breath

Mild cases often go away by themselves but medication can be prescribed for more serious cases.

Aghast, Jackie confirmed she wasn’t doing drugs at the venue, adding: ‘I am not doing that! Oh my god, I was there with my daughter as well… that makes no difference because I don’t do that.’ 

Dr Hay also suggested Jackie could have caught Hand, Foot and Mouth disease – a viral inflection that usually affects children but can be spread to adults. 

Kyle eagerly volunteered to check Jackie’s feet for symptoms such as flakey skin and a rash. 

‘[Jackie has] pretty nice feet. I’ve always looked at them, but never look at them that close… they’ve got the white toenails and everything,’ he enthused before confirming that she wasn’t displaying symptoms of the disease.
