Just on here to moan. For over a week now I've had this weird 'cold'. Stuffy nose and just pressure/pain behind my eyes, cheeks, teeth, forehead. I'm 90% sure it's my sinuses but to be honest I'm taking paracetamol and sudafed and it's barely helping.

Now I'm getting these awful sharp, dull pains in the side of my head. It feels like someone has stuck a knife into the side of my head and left it there.

If I lie down, it's worse so I have to sit up. I'm watching trash telly but it's hard concentrating on anything to be honest.

I have so much to do next week. Appointments, got my DD(4) all day tomorrow so have to take her out to gymnastics class, do the food shop, get her hair cut. Got a school tour on Tuesday I don't want to miss. Got work commitments.
My DH works full time in a busy job.

I just feel utterly useless. Anyone else had anything similar and is there anything that can help? Thankfully my appetite is fine and I have no other symptoms at all. Throat fine, no cough.

Tested for COVID, negative!

Urgh urgh urgh!

Sounds like a sinus infection. If when lying down the pressure pain is incredible and you feel your face will explode? Then I think it is. You'll need antibiotics for that I'd say.
