Went to the doctor and took cefuroxime 500mg but it was no help. I have a birthmark over my left eye could it be coming from this I was told it had a wart under it and it has raised over the last year.

Hello
All other symptoms suggest sinusitis .
You need to continue antibiotic and decongestant.
Another possibility of headache due to migraine.
Migraine usually involves half part of your head.
Pain is severe and aggravated by triggering factors like fast, irritant smell, travelling
Take steam inhalation and warm water gargle with betadine/tantrum solution.
For early recovery drink plenty of water, eat easily digestible food, improve immunity, and take fruit juices and soups.
If required then you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care

Hello Brenda,
From your history, it is better to rule out a condition called Trigeminal neuralgia. The other possibility is a chronic sinusitis.
The exact nature of your mole and duration has not been mentioned in your history. There are some vascular moles which could present with headache but they have an early age of onset. If it is warty mole, it will be usually confined to the skin and is unlikely to cause your symptoms.
A neurologists evaluation may throw better light on your problem.
Hope this helps you.
