What Could Be The Reason For Bronchitis And Pain In Back Of Head?
I have recently had a sinus infection, pain in my jaw on the right side, cough a lot, after 5 days of antibotic, went back to doctor and it turned into bronchitis. Doc put me on another antibotic. been on that for 4 days. still coughing and blowing my nose a lot. now on top of all the symptoms I have a pain in the back of my head, (neck) on the right side. If I put pressure on it with my hand it feels better until i release my hand. I had neck surgery about 6 years ago. Any ideas what this could be?

Hi,
You seem to have allergic sinusitis with secondary infection in respiratory tract.
With diagnosis of sinus infection with bronchitis &coughing ,usually blood testing is done to judge range of allergy & infection. Sometimes Xray chest & culture/ sensitivity test is needed. In the light of the results specific treatment is given.
Usually apart from suitable antibiotics anti allergic +decongestant pills, broncho dialeters along with cough syrups & B complex supplement is given as per need.Please visit a physician for help.
Nasal inhailation, hot saline gargles,avoiding allergens are personal aids to cure the condition.
Thanks
