Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.


Thanks for your query . The symptom you mention can occur due to many reasons like injury to nerve ,nerve impingement , sinusitis or migraine .

In your case it seems to me that the symptoms are due to sinus infection also known as sinusitis . headache ,sneezing and cough are also due to sinus infection. Actually sinusitis is causing migraine .

I would suggest you to :-

- do warm saline rinses several times a day .

- take steam twice a day .

- Drink warm water with one spoon honey in it.

Consult ENT specialist (ear,nose,throat) without any delay . Doctor may order blood test , X-ray , CT scan or throat swab test to confirm the diagnosis and to rule out condition like migraine or allergic reaction.

Doctor may prescribe antibiotic course (penicillinor amoxicillin) , decongestant , anti histamine drug for cough and sneezing and mucolytic agent like ambroxol. He/she may prescribe stronger painkiller like tramadol for headache .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
