Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has been battling some very unfortunate symptoms after falling ill with a mysterious illness this week.

The radio host, 48, complained about her health to Dr. Sam Hay, also known as Dr. KIIS, on Tuesday’s radio show, detailed symptoms such as nasal congestion and loss of smell and taste.

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

Dr. However, Hay pointed out that Jackie’s other symptoms were inconsistent with a diagnosis of menopause.

‘It is not necessary (relevant). We don’t lose our sense of smell when it comes to things in menopause,” he explained.

Jackie went on to say that she suffered from itchy and watery eyes.

“Maybe she has hay fever, or maybe she has sinusitis that’s irritating the nasal nerves,” he speculated.

Kyle joked that Jackie had given herself a sinus infection from sniffing illegal drugs while visiting Sydney’s trendy Clovelly Hotel this weekend.

What are the symptoms of a sinus infection?

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

It is common and usually goes away on its own within two to three weeks.

Symptoms include:

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

Mild cases often clear up on their own, but medication may be prescribed for more severe cases.

Stunned, Jackie confirmed she wasn’t doing drugs at the venue, adding, “I’m not! I’m not!” Oh my god, I was there with my daughter too… it doesn’t matter because I don’t.’

Dr. Hay also suggested that Jackie could have contracted 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 peeling skin and a rash.

“(Jackie has) pretty nice feet. I’ve always watched them, but never looked that closely… they’ve got those white toenails and everything,” he enthused before confirming she was showing no symptoms of the disease.
