What to do if i have headache - sinus infection or blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diagnosis: Headache as an isolated symptom is rarely caused by sinus infection. Although supra-orbital pain can be associated with frontal sinusitis, the symptoms of sinusitis include nasal blockage, nasal congestion, yellow-green nasal discharge, pain and pressure in the face above the teeth and pain between the eyes. If pain in head is on the side of your head, it is not sinusitis.
