What Causes Persistent Headache Throughout The Day?

I have had a headache for 4 days now, it s pretty bad, it gets worse, especially as the day goes on. And it causes me to have a very hard time sleeping at night, and wakes me up several times throughout the night as well. I ve also had a cold for over a week, but that s getting better and now the headache is getting worse. I thought it was a sinus infection but almost all cold symptoms are gone and the headache remains, bad. What could it be?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms can be related to sinusitis which is an infection of the sinuses. I suggest to use a saline nasal spray to relieve the mucus which is accumulated in the sinuses. I recommend to use anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the headache. If the symptoms continue, you may need an antibiotic treatment to treat the infection.

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

Regards,
