What Causes Headache On The Right Side?
I have been experiencing a headache for several days. It isn t severe but is only on the right side (including ear) and back of head. My scalp is tender to the touch and I have a bad (not metallic) taste in my mouth and my taste buds are off. I got off of Bactrim a few days ago for a sinus infection prior to this starting.

Hi,
It looks like tension headache, cluster headache or migraine. In my opinion it is getting triggered by the sinus problem that you have. Visit an ENT Specialist, get examined, get X-RAY PNS, allergy test, nasal endoscopy if required. Get your sinus treated. In the meantime, stay away from stress, loud noise & strong smell. Keep posture right.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
