Please help me. At new year I contracted a yucky virus, cough, threat, nose pain etc. Eventually I was given antibiotics for upper respiratory. I went on to develop sinus infection for which I got another antibiotic.

All of the symptoms have gone apart from a constant burning pain on the right side of my forehead, eyebrow, temple, moving onto the top of my head.

Iam at my wits end, using Tramadol daily and nasal spray. I have managed to get another appointment for next week but it seems so far away. Thank you for any advice

    Really sounds like irritated sinuses. Are you using a steroid nasal spray or just salt rinse?  Does Tylenol or other pain killer help?

      It may be rebound effects from the steroid spray. I had similar effects years ago after a month of using decongestants as prescribed by a doc - for sinus issue.  Hope you see the doc tonight.

      best,
