What Causes Pain,itching And Burning Like In Head?
For approx. 3 weeks, The top left side of my head has had a itchy, burning, slight pain. My left eye also seems very slightly swollen. I was prescribed amoxicillin and Flonaise by a nurse practitioner at CVS pharmacy for a possible sinus infection. I took the medicine as prescribed but it s 12 days later and I still have the pain that feels like a bruise on the top of my head. It does not move. It is only about a 5 inch area on the top left side. What could this be?
