Why do I still have a throbbing head pain when I bend forward, which feels like swollen sinuses, even though my cold cleared up after taking Augmentin 625 for seven days?
While the Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate) cleared your primary infection, your sinus passages can remain swollen and inflamed for a couple of weeks afterward. Bending forward increases pressure in these sensitive areas, causing that throbbing sensation. To help soothe this, try using a simple saline nasal spray and warm compresses over your face. However, if the pain worsens or you develop a new fever, please consult your doctor to see if you need further evaluation.
