Suggest Treatment For Bronchitis

Approx., 1 1/2 yrs ago, I had bronchitis followed by pleurisy and walking pneumonia. I have had bronchitis a few times since then and have noticed my head gets bulges in different locations and are hot to the touch. My head feels "full" and hurts when coughing (when I have a cold or bronchitis). I am starting to worry that I may have infection in my head. I also run a temperature off and on when I get a cold or bronchitis. Any advice?

It looks like you might be getting sinusitis. Sinusitis is infection of sinuses. Sinuses are cavities in bones located in your head. I don't think you have infection in your brain if that's what you are worried. Most common cause of sinusitis is viral or allergic. You can try taking antihistamine medications or steroids nasal sprays.
