Are Headaches Normal After Undergoing Tonsillectomy While Suffering From Asthma?

My son is 9 years old. He had a tonsilectomy, adenoids reduction, and inferior turbinate reduction 4 weeks ago. Now he is complaining of headaches for the past 4 days. He also gets seasonal allergies and has asthma. What can be the cause of his headaches?

Tonsillectomy done before 4 weeks with adenoid and inferior turbinate reduction have nothing to do with headache specially after 4 weeks, allergy and asthma is completely different problem. For headache, there may be plenty of reasons.if your son is taking simultaneous treatment with asthma then headache might occur bcuz of vasodilation.u can go for palliative treatment and nothing to worry about it.
