What Causes Headaches And Smelling Blood?

Hi. My boyfriend has had a bad headache for a couple days now. He says the pain is mostly in the forehead region. He is now complaining of occasionally smelling blood. He has taken medication such as Tylenol and nothing seems to help. Should I take him to the ER or is this something that will blow over?

Hello,

I think it can be sinusitis or inflammation of the sinuses. He may need to do an X-ray of the sinuses to get checked. He may need to take decongestants for it, antibiotics and steroids possibly. Get further evaluated.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
