How Can Headache And Sore Throat Be Treated?

I have had a sinus headache for the last 3 or 4 days and now I have one swollen gland and a slight sore throat on the same side. What can I take to feel better. I do not have any fever. Thank you. You should say that there is a cost in the beginning not after you list your problem etc. Thanks anyway..

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain sinus headache, swollen gland along with sore throat can be due to sinus inflammation and post nasal drip that is commonly seen during sinus infection can cause sore throat..

You should consult an ENT Expert and get evaluated and also get a sinus CT scan don to rule out the exact cause for the symptoms and can be treated accordingly..

A course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen or Aleve along with decongestants like Pseudoephadrine and saline nasal irrigations and steam inhalations will help..
Use a cool mist humidifier in your room..
You should as of now take Ibuprofen and start doing steam inhalations..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
