Is it safe and do I need my adenoids(adenoids) taken out?

by LyleS, Jul 10, 2008 08:03PM
I have been having migranes at least 2 a day so I have been taking Excedrin Migrane Medicine for it.  1 question I have is, I have been taking 4 at a time since this is the ONLY thing that helps, is this safe?  I also would like to know what you think about these migranes being caused by the pressure that I feel in the top of my nose and face?  Could I need my adenoids (adenoids) taken out possibly?

Hi,

How old are you?
Have you been able to identify a trigger for your migraine?
The normal dose of Excedrin is 2 tablets in a day and no more unless instructed by your doctor.

The pressure that you are feeling in the nose and face could be due to sinusitis. I would suggest you to take steam inhalation and see if it makes any difference to your symptoms.
If it does not help please consult a physician and undergo a complete clinical examination.
