Whats the difference between a migeane and sinus headache?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Headaches: Migraine headaches are normally one sided and caused by spasm of arteries supplying that part of brain. On the other hand sinus headaches are caused by congestion and infection of sinuses. Migraine headaches are treated with medications help relax those arterial spasms and sinus headaches are treated with decongestants and antibiotics.
