Headache is one of the symptoms of bronchitis.
It is the respiratory stress in bronchitis (difficulties breathing, coughing), that often leads to impaired sleep, which triggers headache.
It is very possible that you have sinusitis at the same time.
Actually, bronchitis is very common following a sinus infection due to the post-nasal drip of thickened mucus reaching the bronchi.
Severe headache, along with facial pain and pressure, are characteristics of sinusitis.
Very often, these conditions need proper antibiotic treatment.
Left untreated may cause complications.
Here are some home remedies:
-Rub a eucalyptus vapor rub on the outside of the throat and chest.
- Massage the chest while taking steamy showers.
-Inhale steam from a pot of 2 cups boiling water with the following solution:

* Garlic - 1/2 clove or open a 500 mg capsule
* Tea tree oil - 2 drops
* Eucalyptus vapor rub – 4 teaspoon
* South American herb pau d’arco - 2 drops or half of one 500 mg capsule

Do this for 2 minutes, twice daily.

Visit your physician!
