I Went Back To Work A Few Weeks Ago After
Question: I went back to work a few weeks ago after being on medical leave and one week in, my headaches came back and I noticed that the left side of my forehead is a bit more swollen then the right. I had a ct scan at the end of XXXXXXX and it was normal. I've been extremely tired and stressed out, so I get headaches when this happens but I've never noticed the forehead piece. Is this normal?
Brief Answer:
Your symptoms seem to be related sinusitis, follow the advice below.

Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related sinusitis.
Sinusitis, is an inflammation of the sinuses that results in symptoms.
An x-ray of the sinuses is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment usually consists in anti-inflammatory medication to relieve the inflammation.
I would recommend using Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day.
I would recommend using vitamin C supplements to boost the immune system.
I recommend using saline nasal spray for local application and drink liquids.
If the symptoms continue antibiotics may be needed.
I would recommend Augmentin 625 mg twice a day, which is a prescription medication.
You should consult your doctor before taking this medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
