Suggest Treatment For Severe Headache Caused By A Sinus Infection
Question: Are these headaches/throbbing related to sinus infection I had a month ago?
End of October I had Sinus Infection. 2nd week of November, no more sinus infection. I felt fine. However, I had ear pain. Was told it was the eustachian tube blocked. Mid November no more ear pain.
Early December I've been having a dull ache around the head. Sometimes throbbing. Sometimes feels like pressure. It comes and goes, changes locations. Right now it is mostly top of head and back of head near the ears. Could this still be the sinus infection?
