Question 1

i've returned from the garden route and went to bed with a sore throat. i woke up the monday with a headache, sneezing, runny nose. i have ear pain, and body aches. can i get tested for covid without having to pay? it's so expensive but i feel unwell

Accepted Answer

Cannot say : In the USA we have no cost testing stations scattered throughout the country. What the system is in your country is not information we have. I would call the local health agency for such questions.

Question 2

can tension headache cause ear pain? nose keeps "popping"- extreme pressure of head behind eyes & all around and ear pain both ears

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Tension headaches are usually in the back of the head. What you are describing sounds more like sinus congestion or a sinus infection. See your doctor, as medications are available for both conditions if indicated. Hope this helps!

Question 3

what could cause left side of head pain middle of eyebrow&just above that almost feels like burning&down behind ear&pain at bottom left of neck,with tingling numbness cold crawling sensations.occasionally tension headaches&sinus pressure varies daily?

Accepted Answer

: If those symptoms have just occurred less than 24 hours, you should watch for the skin eruption in those areas if you did not have chicken pox vaccines in your childhood because those symptoms could be the prodrome for shingles (herpes zoster outbreak). As soon as rashes appear, you have to see a doctor right away for treatment.

Question 4

severe forehead headache, neck pain, ear pain , dizzy head very heavy is it a combination of sinus and tension headache? eyes heavy too.spin sensation

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: I'm sorry, but we can't diagnose you from online.  Please see a physician who can properly take your history, examine you, and treat you.  Please do this as soon as you can -- sinus infections can worsen if not addressed.  Be well.

Question 5

ha np = tension headaches. no pain in back of head or feeling of rubber band on 4head. symptoms nasal pain, congestion, facial pressure & ear pain. sinus?

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis: It is possible that your sinuses are congested. You need to see your doctor for examination. There are medications that will help.

Question 6

for a whole day,have headache above & behind right ear. pressing area.causes the head ache too. i did sneeze 1x or 2x but no runny nose..what cause?

Accepted Answer

Headache: Hi, if you don't have nausea, vomiting, change in ur vision please just take Ibuprofen and that should make you feel better, if not please see a doctor.
Ur headache could be just due to a tension headache.
Feel better soon.

Question 7

sharp pain in head neck pain like a tension headache sometimes earache and a numbness up from my nose to the top of my forhead. any idea? i

Accepted Answer

Tension Type: The headaches are usually bilateral and diffuse and often have tenderness in the cervical muscles and other muscles pain as well as the pericranial muscles. The management of episodic and chronic TTH consists of psychological support, physical therapy and pharmacotherapies. Hope it helps

Question 8

my right ear itches a lot. it itches more when i have runny nose or when i'm sneezing a lot (which i do every morning). why is it? what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Nonspecific: This is a nonspecific symptom that could be due to dry skin, yeast infection of the ear canal, allergic reaction,etc. Is there a rash? You could try occasionally applying a cortisone type cream to the itchy area. If the ear canal is itchy or peels,have a physician examine your ear to see if ear drops would help. If there are allergies,benadryl(causes drowsi'ess) or Claritin(nondrowsy) should help.

Question 9

hi. can i take non-drowsy allergy relief and nighttime cold and flu medicine at the same time? i have a runny nose, sneezing, cough, and ear pain.

Accepted Answer

Nighttime cold &amp; flu: medicine should be enough, most of them already contain an antihistamine in the ingredients, so no need to add a non-drowsy allergy medicine. Read the labels carefully, rest, fluids, salt water gargles and saline nasal washes, if no improvement soon, especially ear pain, see your doctor, also stop smoking if you are, and avoid being around smokers, best wishes

Question 10

i'm coughing sneezing runny nose have body aches and ear pain thought it was allergy a but only getting worse have state testing tomorrow what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Need to be evaluated: With the pressure in the ear the possibility of an ear infection or fluid buildup in your ear cannot be ruled out. Generalized body aches and congestion might also indicate an upper respiratory infection. I am afraid you will need to postpone or be excused from testing. You did not mention a fever and if you have a virus you are at risk for suboptimal testing and you can infect others. See you DR.
