What Causes Pain Behind Head When Suffering From Cold?
I ve had a cold for about 3 days now, I ve been blowing my nose a lot and have developed a pressure-like pain in the back of my head. The pressure feeling gets painful when I cough/blow my nose/or sneeze. Is this normal for a cold, or should I see a doctor? I usually only get pain around my sinus area with colds.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having occipital headache and is common during cold or sinusitis.
Take some decongestant and analgesic medicine for 2-3 days.
?go for Vicks vapor inhalation.
Avoid cold drinks and jnuk food.
Ok and take care.
