when someone has a brain tumor, do they have pressure in the head all over or is it like sinus pressure that's more in the forehead?

Question

Should i be concerned if my mom just found out that she has a tumor in her head by the sinus area. Is that in the brain?

Answer 1

Possible, but : Headache is common in brain tumors. They are usually dull, constant, and worse at night, and can be associated with nausea, vomiting, seizure or other neurological symptoms. They can be generalized from increased brain pressure due to the mass or localized on the tumor side. Brain tumor can also be asymptomatic. Note, persistent headache or change from prior headache should be evaluated by a doc.

Answer 2

Unlikely: With a large proportion of s. Pneumonii (most common bacteria causing middle ear infection) becoming resistant to penicillin, the mainstay of antibiotics treatment for "ear infection" is currently a high dose of amoxicillin.

Answer 3

Possible: It is possible to feel sinus pressure after having an upper wisdom tooth removed, but it doesn't usually feel that way. Contact your oral surgeon or dentist to make sure that you don't have an infection, or a sinus communication. Follow up today.

Answer 4

Can happen: While it's not common to feel excess sinus pressure following extractions, it can happen especially if the extractions are from the upper jaw, it can occur if you had an infection issue prior to the extractions or after. In either case you need to find out if you do have an infection going on and get the proper antibiotic treatment..Do it asap so it does not become a more serious situation.

Answer 5

Check-up: How high is fever? What colors is drainage from nose? There could be many causes. Illness in children is most likely a virus and symptomatic control is usually all that is needed. I would advise you to a make an appointment with his pediatrician if you are concerned.

Answer 6

Observe: Clear runny nose with a fever usually means viral infection.Treat fever and runny nose. If runny nose persist beyond 7-10 days with persistent fever, your child will need to be seen for possible bacterial infection - sinus, ear, throat , overlapping pneumonia etc.Prompt medical treatment, if at any time his condition has worsened!

Answer 7

See an eye doctor: Swelling and pain around the eye may be caused by an infection. If left untreated, it can potentially get into the eye socket and even the brain. Your aunt should be evaluated by an eye doctor immediately.

Answer 8

Hand numbness: There is a good chance that what you are describing is carpal tunnel syndrome. If this continues wear a wrist splint at night. If this does not solve the numbness then you need to discuss this with your doctor.
