Accidentally Inhaled Chlorine Gas, Getting Headache. Pain From Temple To Forehead, Entire Head. Need Checkup?

I work for a pool company and accidentally inhaled chlorine gas about 6 weeks ago and have been getting headaches ever since, and I never get headaches. Haven't been getting them every day, usually 2-5 times a week, sometime very painful, other times just enough to be annoying. Pain is located from the temple to the middle of my forehead mostly, but on the bad ones it hurts the entire head. Was wondering if this is concerning enough to get a checkup.

Hi, it appears to be the due to the erosion of the mucous membrane of the nose, and leading to the sinusitis, which is probably causing the head ache, when ever there is exposure to the cold weather, or cool things like cool drinks, etc.
So i advise you to consult an E.N.T. surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
