What Causes Continuous Headache And Dry Mouth?
It is now Saturday & I have been sick since Tuesday. It started with Really severe body aches and pains, I have had kydney issues before so I thought that might be it. Then the flu, though I didn t know it lasted this long. High Fever persisted and is still slight today. I could only keep ice chips down wed/thurs/fri.. With a continuous headache / and Migraine pain when coughing. I have now kept down jello, applesauce, gatorade, and saltines today, but am still feeling extremely nautious and my mouth is abnormally dry. My ears have also been in extreme pain, especially after I get sick or first wake up. I was in a really bad car accident in March and am wondering if the weakened spine and tmj is what is prohibiting me from healing in a more timely manner. I ve taken epsom salt baths, used heat packs and ice packs, peroxide in my ears and everything else I can think of! We had to cancel our NYE party, but I don t care, I just want to feel better!!!!!!

Hello,
You are suffering from continuous headache and dry mouth, you are also having body aches with fever. You have history of bad accident on March, you hurt your spine and have TMJ. You also have pain in your ear. You are also having continuous headache and migraine. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP. Get X-ray spine, if required CT / MRI done. You will be treated accordingly. To get rid of headache, body ache and migraine you can take Combiflam or naproxen, one SOS when required.
Always take medicines after taking food. Since you have kidney problems, get kidney function tests done. Get clinically examined by an ENT, get treated for TMJ and also for any ear problem (infection, wax, internal injury, etc.) that is causing you earache. Dry mouth often indicates diabetes, control your blood sugar level at all cost. Dry mouth can also be caused by dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. Stay away from addictions if any.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
