Daily headaches 17year old

Hey I'm a 17 year old male, I've been having daily headaches for months now and it's really affecting my daily life it stops me from doing anything because I dot have the motivation to do it because of the pain. I had a deviated septum which I had surgery for in February which has now healed, I also had all 4 wisdom teeth removed 1 month ago hoping my headaches would go away but they're still here. My ENT told me to get a allergy test which I did turns out I'm allergic to dust mites so in my room we replaced the carpets with laminated hardwood , got dust-proof mattress cover ad pillow cover, I also have been taking nanosecond spray daily for 2 weeks nothing happened still have headaches , I had a ct scan yesterday all came back normal my doctor has no clue what else is wrong with me I just want these headaches to leave so I can enjoy life again, does anyone have any idea what it could be?

if you ingest dairy, try staying away from main dairy products [milk, butter, cheese etc.] for about 2 weeks. I used to have terrible headaches everyday until I tried what my aunt recommended; abstaining from dairy. I tried it for the 2 weeks and they went away. They only return whenever I have cheese and milk so I know that's why I have these headaches. You should try it and see if it works. Everybody is made up differently so it may not work with you as it did with me. If it does work for the 2 weeks then you know what is causing the headaches and now know that to prevent them from returning, you will have to change your diet.

I hope you'll try my little suggestion and see results in your favour!!!!!

You need to see a neurologist, or better yet a headache specialist.  Forget about the ENT.  If the headaches are really bad, it's not from your sinuses.  And you have done everything in that direction.  I think that you have been taken for a ride getting wisdom teeth removed to help your headaches as well as surgery on a deviated septum.  I also have a deviated septum which my ENT specialist said would not affect the headaches at all and would only give me a slightly better sinus.

A lot of times, there is no known cause for daily headaches.  Most of the time, the CT scans or MRIs are to rule out more serious conditions, like multiple sclerosis or a stroke.  But you still need help treating them.  If the neurologist is any good, which my first neurologist was not, they will prescribe a daily preventative migraine medication.  If those remedies don't help you, there are a lot of other treatments available, such as Botox injections.

Taking any pain medication, including OTC ones at least 3  times a week or more, just causes rebound headaches which perpetuate the headaches forever.  

Get a doctor who will give you medication to help you.
Let me know how your doctor search goes and what they prescribe for you.
