Worried! Migraines and a permanent Sore Throat?

Question

For the past 7 days I have been experiencing some really extreme migraines and an irritating sore throat...

The migraines only occur on a morning and an evening. And when they do they are extremely painful resulting in me not being able to move my head or get up without feeling dizzy or sickly.

The sore throat is constantly irritating as I have to keep swallowing every 20 minutes or so. It worsens on a night time too.

I've tried taking Ibuprofen, Paracetamol Suspension and a cough syrup (Not all together, lol) but nothing seems to help. They don't even improve it.

I'm beginning to worry and I'm thinking of going to the doctor as a last resort as it seems quite like a minor ailment.

Any suggestions as to what it could be and how to improve it at all?

Much appreciated

I also have a contraceptive implant fitted in my arm (which was only fitted recently). Maybe this is a contributor to my symptoms?

Answer 1

Sounds to me like the flu or a sinus infection. Sinus infections can cause severe sinus headaches and they also cause post-nasal drip that can irritate your throat. The flu and a cold can also do this. here's what helps to: take a decongestant and an expectorant that last at least 12 hours. A good combination is the original 12-hour Sudafed, or Claritin-D if you are allergy-prone, along with 12 hour Mucinex. This should help the sinuses to drain and relieve sinus pressure.

Answer 2

Permanent Sore Throat

Answer 3

Put a moist hot towel on your neck and the face. That will help the Migraine.

In women Migraines are Hormonal. So if you are on a form of birth control that might be the cause. Have your Hormone
levels checked.

I had Migraines once or twice a month for 25 years, had to have a Hysterectomy and they stopped immediately.

I am not certain about the sore throat, they could be separate problems. Good Luck.

Answer 5

Acidity and liver hyperactivity is main cause of h/a.
Alternate systems of medicines will only help you.
Pl try simple acupressure given below.

There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.

Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.

Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.

The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.

Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.

Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.

But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.

If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.

It may disappear naturally too.

For sore throat you should consult your doctor. If you have cough treat it with warm water to drink, avoiding all fats, sweets, sour foods, milk. You take roasted /boiled/steamed pulses, green vegis and salads.
Black tea without sugar will help.
