Suggest Treatment For Sneezing And Headache
Brief Answer:
see doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
The medications you are taking are fine if this is just a cold but since you are getting radiation your immune system is compromised and so you really need to see a doctor.
If this is an early bacterial infection then you need to be in antibiotics as soon as possible.
You will need an exam, probably a strep test and maybe blood work.
When you are being treated for cancer you need to be extra careful and see a doctor if you think you are getting an infection.
I wish you the best,
Dr. Robinson
