Post nasal drip?: When you mention drainage from your head, do you mean post nasal drip or nasal drainage? Chronic sinusitis can give you similar symptoms and an ENT doctor can help you determine if you have it. A ct scan may be indicated depending on your symptoms.

Possibly Dental: Have you been to your dentist latley? It is possible that you have dental abscesses that\ are casusing some drainage. Often the top teeth will have an abscess draining into the sinuses and as long as the infection finds a way to drain, you may not have any pain. Also, a full mouth series of dental x-rays might give some clues as to other possible problems if it is not dental related.
