What Causes Dizziness, Headache And Brain Fog?
Question: my 16 year old daughter has been dizzy and lighted, experiencing some brain fog for 4 days. This is accompanied by a headache at the temples. She has some congestion as well.
Brief Answer:
Probably sinusitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic.
I have read your question and understand your concerns for your daughter.
Symptoms you describe point towards sinusitis mostly, but also may be related to a viral infection.
Besides over the counter sinus medicine, an evaluation by your daughter's primary care Doctor about the cause of sinusitis ( viral or bacterial infections, allergies, etc.) and treatment with antibiotics is necessary.
Over the counter painkillers (Paracetamol, Ibuprofen) are also necessary to be used.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
