How Can Headache And Pressure Around The Eyes Be Treated?
I have been on sulfamethoxazole-TMP for a week treating what the doctor said was a sinus infection , however I am feeling worse than I was before. Pressure around my eyes, headache and a lump in my throat with extra mucus when I swallow. Should I keep on taking the medication even though I am feeling worse?
