Infection and headaches

A gentle shake of your head can tell you if you have a sinus infection. If you move your head even slightly, the pain will increase and this is a good method of deciding whether the headache is actually due to a sinus infection. If you have a sinus infection, do not shake your head as the pain will increase.

Another method is to try bending over. The moment you lower your head you will feel as if there is something heavy inside your head. If doing so leads you to discover you have a sinus infection, refrain from bending over until the infection clears.

Bad teeth can cause headaches. If you have a tooth infection that is left untreated there is a very good chance that the pain will go on to the rest of your head. Never take a bad tooth lightly. Get the help of your dentist as soon as you feel that there is something wrong with your teeth. If you let it be you are facing a high risk of developing a headache that just won't go away.

If the bad tooth is in the upper jaw bone, you have a greater chance of getting a headache.
