Head Pressure one side

[Markyboy1990]

Hi there

I need some advice on this issue I have, basically I had an ear infection 2 months ago which cleared up but some of my symptoms never did, EG Tinnitus , pressure in ear comes and goes and crackling in mouth when chewing sometimes, over the past week I am left with 24/7 pressure in the forehead/head mainly one side which never goes and gets worse with exercise.

I had an MRI scan it came back with inflamed sinus's right side it didn't mention the front sinus strangely and inflamed mastoid bone.

My question is would this cause my pressure in my head?

Its constant never stops and gets worse sometimes in the day depending on what I do.

Thanks

Mark

Any time we have any type of infection we will get inflammation which could cause referred pain into other surrounding areas.  It sounds like your infection did not fully go away yet and if that is the case then request a different (stronger antibiotic).

Oh my oh my.  Been there.  What a pain!  I had Eustachian tube dysfunction and it took a very long time for it to be fully diagnosed.  The sinuses connect right into those areas.  Here is something to try.  Hold your nose and blow.  It's called a reverse ear pop.  You do it several times and it often clears that pressure.  I had to do it for several days, many times a day.  I finally saw an ENT who recommended this to me.  My suggestion is to get an appointment with an ENT or Ear Nose and Throat doctor.  They really should be able to help you.  I waited too long for that relief. Don't be like me!
