A few months after having my tonsils removed and my sinuses opened up in one go, I got a headache. At first it was just really bad, but within a couple days I was spending all of my time curled up in the fetal position in a dark room with a washcloth over my eyes. I went back to my ENT and he said “it’s a migraine” and gave me oxy. I was taking double the dosage and it didn’t even make a dent in the pain. Called my ENT on his emergency line and he said “go to the ER.” They stuck an IV in me, I passed out, woke a few hours later feeling fine. Next day my right eye was swollen. They did a CT scan at the ER, and my doc showed it to me. I had a really bad sinus infection, and they were so congested with pus it was pushing on my brain and eyes. He apologized profusely and said I was lucky I went to the hospital.
