Hi,


I had gone through your question and understand your concerns that your daughters are having head-ache. I would like to ask you few more details.


Is there any nasal obstruction or post nasal drip (sinus secretions trickle back into throat) ?
Is their head-ache associated with vomiting or nausea or photophobia ?


Kindly get back to me with the details.


Answers and solutions for your queries.

1. NDPH (New Daily Persistent Headache ) or sinusitis can be diagnosed by detailed history, ent examinations and investigations.

Head-ache following respiratory tract infection, always occurs due to sinusitis.

2. CT scan of para nasal sinuses is a standard diagnostic modality for sinusitis (maxillary, ethmoidal, sphenoidal and frontal), where as, MRI reserved for to locate the complications (intra cranial) of sinusitis.


In my opinion, you need to consult an ent surgeon, to differentiate the cause. If necessary go ahead for the investigations.

Mean time, do simple steam inhalation, over the counter Tylenol (acetaminophen) half tab, twice daily (best works for head-ache).

Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
