Hello bebber.567.
There are many different etiologies (causes) for headaches. Headaches can be generally classified as migraine, tension, or cluster.
Your headache appears to be associated with nasal sinuses. Your sore throat is probably caused by a post-nasal drip in conjunction with your runny nose. The pressure in your head is probably due to sinuses as well.
There can be other causes for headaches other than sinuses. You may need to visit your family physician to be evaluated for a sinus infection. Sinus infections may require antibiotics.
Be well,
Dr. Kimberly
