How Long Can I Expect Headache And Lightheadedness For URI To Last?

I have had some URI s/s, no fever, at first I thoughti I'm just dealing with allergies. Now most of those s/s are gone but I have been having dull headaches/lightheadedness that's very bothersome. If this is just from the URI how long should I expect it to last?

Hello
Headache in upper respiratory infection is because of congestion in the nose and paranasal sinuses. This will decrease once the congestion decreases. If you are taking decingestant tablets the you will get symptomatic relief.
Thank you.
