If you have insurance go straight to the emergency room. Your Doctor is right in the sense that a headache in that location is normally sinus, but unless a cat scan is done he is brushing it off too lightly. The emergency room will run the cat scan and give you pain medicine at least. They will also send to follow up with a doctor who knows what they are doing. You know this could be something like high blood pressure too.

Change Doctor ask for a second opinion as fast as you can, this could be the symptom of something else, not even migraine last that long, and as the previous user said the scan is a good idea. As for the pain, ask your Doctor or license pharmacist if migraine medication can be of any help; but don't forget that the headache is only a symptom, make sure to know what it causing them.

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 available at

Have you had your eyes checked? Do you work alot in front of a computer? Drink more water and take vitamin C and D. Take a long walk the fresh air will do you good.

go back to the doctor and DEMAND a catscan, you could have a mass right there or the sinus could be beyond over the counter meds and you may need to have that draining thing done.
