Hello
Thanks for writing your query.
The symptoms you describe seem to be related to acute pan sinusitis. It can cause acute frontal headache with the rotten which you had felt earlier was due to infected post nasal drip. Severe pain on the back of head upto vertex is characteristic of sphenoidal sinusitis.
In would however need to run a few test to confirm the possibility. You may discuss with your treating doctor and plan for the following tests:
(a) C.T.scan of paranasal sinuses.
(b) Culture and sensitivity of throat swab.
In the interim you can take
(1) inhalation thrice a day
Antibiotic and nasal decongestant may be added after your visiting your ENT surgeon.
I hope this will help you. Let me know if you need clarifications
Regards
