What Causes Severe Pain And Pressure In The Head?

A friend that is a 33 year old female has an extreme headache after suffering from several days of very bad allergies. She has a lot of fluid build up in her head and said it feels like her head is about to explode every time her heart beats. Her eyes are continuing to water. She has coughed up green mucus and her chest burns.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
I understand your concern.

Severe headache,watering eyes,cough with expectoration is because of acute sinusitis.
Heart burn can be because of gastro oesophageal reflux disease that worsen the throat related symptoms.

If I were your treating doctor,I recommend,
-Antibiotics like Augmentin thrice a day for 5-7 days(prescription drug)
Analgesics like acetaminophen twice a day for 3-5 days.Avoid ibuproen/naproxen as it may worsen heart burn symptoms.
-Oral antihistaminics cetrizine once a day for 3-5 days.
-Steam inhalation thrice a day for relieving nasal congestion.Nasal decongestant spray can be used for 3 days if congestion is not relieved by steam.
-PPIs like omeprazole once a day for 1 month.Avoid alcohol,hot,spicy,fried food.
If symptoms have lasted for more than 3 days,visit to physician.

Hope this information helps,
Any further query is welcome.
