Your health care provider will obtain your medical history and will perform an examination of your head, eyes, ears, nose, throat, neck, and nervous system.
The diagnosis is usually based on your history of symptoms. A “headache diary” may be helpful for recording information about headaches over a period of time. Your doctor may ask questions such as the following:
* Is the headache located in the forehead, around the eyes, in the back of the head, near the temples, behind the eyeball, or all over?
* Is the headache on one side only?
* Is this a new type of headache for you?
* Would you describe the headache as throbbing?
* Is there a pressure or band-like sensation?
* When does the headache occur? How long have you had headaches? How long does each headache last?
* Does the headache awaken you from sleep? Are the headaches worse during the day and better at night?
* Did other symptoms begin shortly after the headaches began? Do headaches occur repeatedly?
* Does the headache reach maximum intensity over 1 to 2 hours?
* Are the headaches worse when you are lying down? Standing up?
* Are the headaches worse when you cough or strain?
* Do they occur at a specific time related to your menstrual period?
* What home treatment have you tried? How effective was it?
Diagnostic tests that may be performed include the following:
* Head CT scan
* Head MRI
* Sinuses x-rays
* Temporal artery biopsy
* Lumbar puncture
If a migraine is diagnosed, medications that contain ergot may be prescribed. Temporal arteritis must be treated with steroids to help prevent blindness. Other disorders are treated as is appropriate.

Sinus infection may affect the people in two ways and these infections range from short term and long term infections. The short term infections last a few days while the long term infections take more than two months to recover. Long term infections occur mostly in case of chronic conditions.
There are many forms of sinus infection symptoms and the most common symptom is headache with facial pain. Fever is also a part of the symptom of sinus. There are many cases when the person will have sore throat and there is some stuffiness in the passages of the nose. To open the passage of nose, most of the doctors advise to take the nasal drip. However, in all sinus infections, the drip does not work. Sometimes the doctor detects chronic sinus in case symptoms are worst.
Sinus is nothing but the inflammation in the passages of the nose and here’s the best solution for it. Sinuses connect area between nostrils and nasal passages which gives the insulation effect to the skull. When bacteria enter in case of sinus infection, the person suffers from headache and facial pain. The bacteria find a breeding ground when the openings of nose get choked. The reason is that hair in sinuses does not function in a proper manner because of mucus.
The main symptom of sinus infection is respiratory illness. Accroding to several studies, one person out of ten is affected by the virus. It is advisable to consult with the doctor in case prime symptoms like headache keep coming in. The aim of the treatment is to reduce the congestion. Some antibiotics may also help but they should be taken under the guidance of the doctor. The patient is also given corticosteroid spray which is used to reduce swelling. Chronic sufferers need to have surgery, if all stop working for you. Surgery cleans sinus and is used specially on people with fungal infections.
Humidifiers is yet another effective treatment for sinus which gives lot of relief to the patient. In case your budget is low, it is advisable to inhale steam which may give relief to a great extent. You also can also use expectorants, but again under the prescription of a doctor. Expectorants thin the mucus and give relief for sinus, however, using it for a longer period of time may be harmful.

Migraines and a permanent Sore Throat
Q: For the past 7 days I have been experiencing some really extreme migraines and an irritating sore throat…
The migraines only occur on a morning and an evening. And when they do they are extremely painful resulting in me not being able to move my head or get up without feeling dizzy or sickly.
The sore throat is constantly irritating as I have to keep swallowing every 20 minutes or so. It worsens on a night time too.
I’ve tried taking Ibuprofen, Paracetamol Suspension and a cough syrup (Not all together, lol) but nothing seems to help. They don’t even improve it.
I’m beginning to worry and I’m thinking of going to the doctor as a last resort as it seems quite like a minor ailment.
Any suggestions as to what it could be and how to improve it at all?
A: Sounds to me like the flu or a sinus infection. Sinus infections can cause severe sinus headaches and they also cause post-nasal drip that can irritate your throat. The flu and a cold can also do this. here’s what helps to: take a decongestant and an expectorant that last at least 12 hours. A good combination is the original 12-hour Sudafed, or Claritin-D if you are allergy-prone, along with 12 hour Mucinex. This should help the sinuses to drain and relieve sinus pressure.

Sore throats can be caused by many things. Viruses (like those that cause colds) can lead to a sore throat. Bacteria can also cause a sore throat, as can smoking, breathing polluted air, drinking alcohol, and hay fever and other allergies.
What is tonsillitis?
Tonsillitis means swelling of the tonsils (at the back of your mouth on each side of your throat). It can cause a sore throat and other symptoms. Signs of strep throat and tonsillitis are often alike. Tonsillitis is usually caused by bacteria, though sometimes a virus may be involved.
Symptoms of tonsillitis or strep throat
* Sore throat
* Fever
* Headache
* Vomiting
* White patches in your throat or on your tonsils
* Pain when you swallow
* Swollen, red tonsils
* Sore glands in your jaw and throat
What is mononucleosis?
Mononucleosis (mono) is a viral infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. One of the main signs of mono is a sore throat that may last for 1 to 4 weeks. Other signs include swollen glands in your neck, armpits and groin, fever and chills, headache, and feeling tired.
What is the treatment for a sore throat caused by bacteria?
If your sore throat is caused by Streptococcus, your family doctor will probably prescribe penicillin, taken by mouth for 10 days. Another antibiotic, called erythromycin, can be used if you’re allergic to penicillin. If your sore throat is caused by a different bacteria, your doctor may prescribe another type of antibiotic.
What is the treatment for a sore throat caused by a virus?
Antibiotics don’t work against viruses. Infections caused by viruses usually just have to run their course. Most symptoms caused by a cold-type virus go away in a week to 10 days.
Symptoms caused by mono can last for 4 weeks or more. If you have mono, your doctor will probably suggest that you get plenty of rest and that you not exercise too hard. You can take acetaminophen, ibuprofen (brand names: Advil, Motrin) or naproxen for the headache and other aches.
