What Causes Sudden Onset Of Cold Sensation In Head?

I am experiencing a sudden onset of a cooling sensation on the right center region of the top of my head. I have never felt this before. The rest of my head feels normal but when I touch that spot it feels very cold. I can feel the coolness without touching it as well. The area even feels as if it is a little tight like a tense feeling. This has been going on for the past hour with no other symptoms. What could this be?? Thank you for your help! Christina

Hi

From the history you have given,your symptoms have been caused due to sinusitis ,flu or a respiratory tract infection.

Any other associated symptoms like running nose,sneezing ,headache or fever will help in identifying the cause.

Any of the above symptoms without fever can be managed at home.Steam inhalation and Betadine gargle will help in reducing the discomfort.

Pain killers and antihistamines will reduce headache and sinusitis related symptoms.X ray Paranasal sinuses can be done to rule out sinusitis.

Blood tests may be required if fever persists for more than 3 days and such prolonged fever should be taken seriously and treated by a physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
