Question: Hi, I had a throat infection a week back. Doctor suggested me to have MOXIKIND-CV 625mg BD and DUPHILL 200 mg BD. After taking 4 dosage I am facing severe headache. I had left the medication now since past 6 days Still I am facing headache along with ear pain specially in evenings. I am taking regular steam to avoid this but still facing this headache.

Brief Answer:
Sinusitis has developed

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic
You have developed sinusitis secondary to sore throat.
Take moxikind CV as advised and continue steam inhalation along with tablet cetrizine twice a day.
This headache is because of sinusitis and not drugs so don't worry if headache worsens for a while.
Always take lukewarm water and avoid cold beverages and spicy food
Take care
Regards
