Suggest Treatment For Headaches
Question: I have a terrible sinus headache. I've taken Flonase Astelin and Advil but nothing helps. Any suggestions
Brief Answer:
Add Tylenol 1000mg every 8hours to the Ibuprofen!
Detailed Answer:
HI,
Advil alone is not a powerful drug to control headaches. I suggest you add Tylenol 1000mg every 6-8hours for better relief. Also, endeavor to rest and get some more sleep in quiet and not too lit room. This will help address the pain. If this fails, then you may need to talk to your doctor for more potent pain medications as they are not available over the counter and require a doctor’s script.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if ned be.
