What Causes Heaviness In The Head?
Hello, my 12 year old son has been complaining of heaviness in the head for 6 weeks now...He says it is not pain but just heaviness in the head and feels something gets blocked for which he has to twitch his mouth to unblock.. His nose is blocked currently sometimes but he doesnt have a cold .. I went to our doctor yesterday and he asked to give him a nasal decongestant that could help clear hsi sinuses ..we have tried that but still do not see any improvement ....Ps can somebody advise treatment thanks
