Why Am I Having Pain On The Right Side Of My Head While Shaking?
I have a headache on the right side of my head and hurts if i shake my head, is this a migraine or something else? I think I've been suffering from a viral infection for the last week and a half as I've had vertigo and still feel dizzy and also coughing up green mucus.
I recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical exam and some tests:
- a sinus X ray study or a brain CT scan to examine your sinuses - a sinus discharge bacterial culture to identy the possible infectious agent - a blood work (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate)
Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes, Dr. Aida
