Constant Headache On The Back, Dark Circles, Dull Ear Ache, Nasal Block, Bruise On Face. Medicines?

I have a constant headache at the left handside of my head at the back. I have dark rings under my eyes. I also have sometimes a dull ache in my left ear and my left nostril gets blocked. When I blow my nose it is slighty yellow/green.
I noticed what looks like a bruise on my left cheek. It appears to be under the skin rather than the outside. My doctor has given me an anti inflamatory to take as he said there was a slight swelling on the left side around my neck.. The docotor before him prescribed antibioctics for the ear but the second doctor said the ear looked fine..

Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

Referred pain in head and ear,blockage of your nostrils,and yellow to green mucous discharge shows that you have developed respiratory tract infection.

it could be sinusitis,rhinitis,pharyngitis or tonsillitis.

your ENT surgeon can evaluate well clinically and start with suitable antibiotics.
A visit to ENT is recommended,you can go for second opinion if required.

Meanwhile you can do warm saline rinses and steaming.

This will give immediate relief.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Take care.

Hello,
I went through your complaints. All the problems looks like interrelated. You may have (Left) deviated middle septum of nose, Infection in the para nasal sinuses and Ear infection especially middle ear may be there . All these problems can cause Headache. Dark rings under your eyes are present on both eyes which may or may not be connected with this. The bruise like seems to be linked with your present problem.
X-ray Chest and CT para nasal sinuses are to be done to find out the cause. After consulting with ENT Dr and infection is found anywhere - antibiotic, pain killers, anti histaminics. and inhalaion of vaporising agents may clear your nasal passage. Any wax in the ear has to be cleaned as you have block ear.
the swelling around the neck may be due to the inflammed lymph adenitis.
ENT problem especially nose associated headache should be carefully Observed.
Best wishes
