A member asked:
Ive had a mild headache across my forehead above my eyebrows for a week now. been on antibiotics for a sinus infection for 4 days. 200 mgs of ibuprofen every 6 hours takes care of it but its getting more annoying than anything. should i be worried?

Headache: Supraorbital headache can be due to sinusitis involving the frontal sinus. True sinus infections require much more than 4 days of an appropriate antibiotic, so give it more time. Should headache not resolve or worsen, then investigation with ct scan would be advisable. Be sure not to take ibuprofen on an empty stomach.
