What Causes Headache After The Septioplasty, Tonsil & Adenoid Removal Surgery ?
I had a septioplasty, turbinate reduction, tonsel & adenoid removal surgery about 3-4 weeks ago. I ve had a headache for the last two days and even Roxicet has not helped. Or Tylenol. I m wondering if there is anything that I can do to make this headache go away? i m assuming its because of swelling?

hello. there can be various reasons for the headache and a common reason may be that the crusts may be blocking the drainage of the sinuses in your nose. please take saline nasal drops 4-5 times a day and start steam inhalation 3-4 times a day. if this does not help. please meet your ENT doctor. thanks
