Pain On Left Side Of Head, Skull Bone Bigger Compared To Right. Are These Sinus Symptoms?

hi, i have a really nasty pain on the left side of my head, when i bend down it pulsates and my neck hurts if i put my head back. it also hurts when i cough, and i have noticed where the bones at the bottom of my skull ( the bone just under my ear lining) is bigger then that one on the right. i went to my gp today and he said i have a sinus infection! but i have just looked up on the internet and none of the symptoms are the same.

Hi,

Perhaps you are also having ear infection. I advise to reconsider the diagnosis with your physician and to go for other tests for further evaluation:

- consult ENT specialist
- run x-ray or ct-scan of the scalp to evaluate better the situation.

Wish you health!
