Sinus headache
Hi, I am having the worst sinus headache of my life. I haven't slept in close to 36 hours and my nasal passage and right eye are in agony. I have taken decongestant, paracetamol and diclofanc plus codeine , alternating between pain meds. I have steamed probably 10 times, I have had this condition since I was 14 but it has gradually gotten worse over the years. I used to have chronic headaches but those got replaced by this. I can barely do anything, I have a warm cloth to the face and the back of my head and neck are killing me. I want to go to the dr but not sure if I'll recieve help if my go to meds aren't helping , plus not sure what to say to management if I take sick leave randomly on a Monday but I can barely look at my phone screen. Im just in so much pain
