    Well to start you probably need another antibiotic. Having you been tested for something else and where are you?

    Hello. Have you been to the ENT hospital department? i am myself waiting to be seen. You can have xray/ct scan and be checked. Then they can get to root of exactly whats happening.

      I had 3 weeks of the doxilin antibiotics didnt wrk then I have just finished yesterday amoxilin. Last night i had pressure in head eyes nose when lay down, had these symptoms 9 weeks ago so they haven't wrked at all.

      ask the doctors to send you to ent at hopsital as you need to be checked he cant say no if you ask. Im waiting its a few weeks wait. Good reviews ive read. Ive only had this 9 weeks but its a bloody nightmare!

    Well you should ask to be referred to an Ent, you must tell the  GP you have had more than 4 boys a year. If the GP doesn't take action change of GP, this is your option within the NHS

    I have had all the same symptoms going on 12 weeks. The eye pressure and foggy head is the worst. I increased my water intake to 2 L a day and that helps with the pain. I've done 5 antibiotics, nasal sprays, OTC medication and still no relieve. ENT finally said I have a deviated septum and middle ear infection. This illness has taken over my life. I'm scheduled for surgery in June. The only medicine I have found to take the headaches away is Migralex. It has Magnesium in it and was invented by a Neurologist. It's helped me keep my sanity. Lol. Hope you guys find relieve soon.

      I would go back to doctors the doctors, they have said at one point i have rhinitis this can also cause vertigo pressure in head nose behind eyes.??!!! (Steroid they give you for inflammation in nasal area). I would also request doctor to send you to ENT department to have scans see whats going on.
