What Causes Numbness On Top Of Forehead Despite Taking Advil For Sinus Headache?
I had a bad sinus headache for a few days. I took Advil Cold and Sinus to ease the symptoms. The headache is better but I have numbness on the top and one side of my skull all day yesterday and today. I really only notice this when I touch my head or brush my hair, etc. Thank you. YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to the sinus infection.
During a sinus infection the sinuses become swollen and inflamed.
Enlarged sinuses can compress nearby nerves, leading to head tingling and numbness.
I suggest taking anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the inflammation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
