hi, for the past two weeks, ive been getting bad headaches on and off that are on my forehead to the top of my head, i went to the doctor and he said it was sinus, ive been taking his medication for about a week and have not felt any better, its a sharp pain, throbbing feeling at times and feels like my head is being squeezed, any ideas?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of sinus infection along with this you suffering from headaches which are symptoms of sinusitis. I would suggest you to put nasal decongestant sprays for opening of sinuses. You should take antihistamines Levocetrizine and antibiotic such as Cephalosporin combination as infection is present. Montelukast is also effective for this. You should take steam inhalation. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for sinus X ray and CT scan done as well. You can go for drainage of sinuses to relieve pressure and surgical reconstruction of opening after proper prescription. Do warm saline gargles.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
