why do i have continous headaches on side of head,also my sinuses are effected?

Answer 1

It could be a sinus infection or possibly tension headaches.

Answer 2

I take Prednisone for my sinus infections. All the cavities in my head all filed with infection and have been for 16 months. I have not been able to smell a thing for 16 months and they can't get the infection cleared up. The Dr said I may never be able to smell a thing for the rest of my life. It all started when I got a digestive disorder and I can't eat food, I eat strained baby fruit and fat free broths and juices so I became and remain malnourished, that's what caused my sinus problem. Now because the digestive disorder has gotten worse I am not allowed prednisone. I never had any reactions to it when I took it before and sometimes the Dr will give me an injection of it and my ENT gives me a nasal spray of a steroid trying to help my sinuses but it isn't working so he wants to do surgery. I said NO WAY. I doubt your side effects are from the medication but talk to your Dr or pharmacist.

Answer 3

Could be a Sinus infection, allergies, or a migraine. I suffer from all three depending on the weather. If the pressure outside drops, my sinus pressure increases which causes headaches. Occassionally, similar weather patterns will cause me to have a Migraine. Because I know this to be the case, over the counter medicines work for me. However, you may want to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor or an allergist.

Answer 4

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

Answer 5

Stay out of the airplane glue! LOL
Seriously, though, sounds like you've got some kind of sinus business going on, there, go see a specialist, the sinus thing is probably causing the headaches...

Answer 6

either a sinus infection or a migraine.see a dr,u need either an antibiotic if its an infection ,or a tryptan drug if its a migraine.studies have shown that 80% of people who think they have a sinus headache,actually have migraines.the two can be hard to tell apart,so see a dr.

Answer 7

sounds like chronic sinusitus which I suffered from in the late eighties, my doctor treated the initial condition with antibiotics and since then I've been on a Beconase nasal spray, which is mostly associated with hayfeaver but was suggested by a chemist who, with respect to doctors are more knowledgeable about pharmaceuticals as they are not bombarded with bumf from big companies as doctors constantly are.

Answer 8

sinus infection, or maybe an environmental allergy (pollen, mold, etc)
see a doc - if it's significant ask for testing to find the CAUSE, don't let them just write a presciption and send you away.

Answer 9
