What Causes Pressure In The Head When I Sneeze Or Cough?

I have had a headache on the right side if my head for about a month. I saw an ENT and have taken antibiotics (2 rounds) that have not helped. Pressure when I sneeze, cough or bend over. Decongestants really don t help nor does aspirin or Tylenol. I see the ENT again next week and will ask for a CAT scan or MRI. What so you think?

Hi,



Thanks for the question, you should have CT paranasal sinuses, if it is abnormal then go for MRI brain with paranasal sinuses.



Hope I have answered your query.
