Is Mold Causing Headache And Sinus Problems?

Hi, I have been having mold problems in my house, I thought I got rid of it last year but it came back. Since that time last year I have had bad allergies, headaches, and sinus problems and trouble breathing. Now I have had diarrhea for the last four days with pain in my abdomen, and am wondering if it is mold sickness. Can I wait to schedule a doctor's appointment or is it something that needs to be treated right now? I am 25 years old, 5'9, 170 lbs, I have had a history with allergy and stomach problems.

Yes, mold can cause all the problems that you have mentioned above.

You should visit the doctor and get the antifungal medication as well as anti allergic medication. Fluconazole, cetrizine, prednisolone and salbutamol can be helpful in the treatment. Please take the above drug under your doctors guidance.

Mold should not be present in the house otherwise it can cause multiple problems which can vary from the small health issue to the large health problem.
