hi
thanks for using health care magic.
as the CT Scan of your mother shows mucosal thickening of right ethmoid air cell which means she is having ethmoidal sinusitis. sinusitis presents as headache with other symptoms such as fever etc. You can give her pain killer and antibiotics after consulting ENT/ physician. thanks.
