headache troubles....HELP
3 days ago I woke up with a kinda sore throat (hurt to swallow). later that night I started to get a headache right on top of my left eye, the next day I stayed in bed all day with a terrible headache right on top of my left eye, yesterday was the worst, terrible headache in the exact same spot. Today the headache is a little better, Im out of bed but the headache moves the direction I move my head. Ive taken sinus meds, antibiotics, nasal spray, asprin ect. I was able to press on certain areas in my nose to kinda shut off the pain briefly. Please help, kinda scaring me cuz Ive never had a headache put me down like that

Hello,
From the symptoms it looks like sinus headaches. The sinuses are air-filled spaces lined with mucous membranes surrounding the forehead, cheeks and eyes. Sinus headaches cause pain in the front of head and face and get worse on positional changes like bending forward. Diagnosis can be made by examination, transillumination, xrays, a CT scan, or an MRI.
The best way to avoid or get rid of a sinus headache is to treat the underlying sinus inflammation and, if present, clear any infection by using antibiotics. Treating the inflammation involves anything from using a humidifier to taking medicines to surgically drain of the mucous in the sinuses. For this you need to consult an ENT specialist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
