What Causes Headache Along With Pain In The Eyes And Throat?
Yes. For two weeks I have had a headache which originates in the back of the neck and radiates from there up and through the temples and through the eyes. Also a sense of rawness through eyes and upper nose (sinuses). Also raw throat. Is it possible that it is an allergy? My mind goes to brain tumor, as my brother had one, but that doesn t explain the pain in the eyes or the the raw throat. It seems to be worst toward late afternoon and through the evening, is with me to a lesser degree throughout the night and when I wake up in the morning and through the day.

Hi,
Based on the description of your symptoms, it appears that you could be having inflammation of sinuses, probably precipitated or caused by allergy. Kindly follow the conservative means as mentioned below:
1. Take steam inhalation thrice daily.
2. Take decongestant medications available over the counter.
3. Take tablet Levocetirizine once a day.
Kindly do the above as mentioned for 3 days and see if the symptoms improve. If it improves, kindly continue it for a week to ten days. If not, kindly take a X-ray of paranasal air sinuses and consult ENT specialist for clinical evaluation and appropriate management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
