Brief Answer:
Consult ENT surgeon.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic. I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

I have read your queries.
Did you have any cough and cold? It could just be sinus problem. Do you have any history of migraine headaches?

Since the symptoms have not subsided with paracetamol, please consult ENT surgeon. If the ENT examination is normal and if you still have the headache, you need to consult Neurologist too to find out the cause of headache.

If you have further queries, I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Ramadevi Wani

Brief Answer:
Please go to emergency department

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Sorry for the delay in replying.
It probably is migraine attack.
It is not safe to prescribe any medicine without examination. You can take another dose of Panadol.
Please go to the emergency department for examination and treatment.

Hello
I went to ER and they prescribed amoxicillin 500mg two times a day for 5 days for sinus infection.
I am 10 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I am scared to take antibiotic?
Plz suggest if this medicine is really safe to take in pregnancy?
Thank you
