Hello,
Thanks for the query
I understand your concern
Please do not worry as it seems to be related to infection rather than bleed. Please consult a local ENT specialist. Regarding migraine you need regular medications like amitryptiline, topiramate, valproate etc. Medications that will help reduce acute attacks are paracetamol, ibuprofen etc along with rest, relaxation.
Please let me know if you need additional information
Best wishes
