Her headaches seemed to be the worst in the evening and the morning, and though Motrin helped a little, they occasionally were bad enough to awake her from sleeping. The pain was all over but seemed worse over her sinuses and "behind her eyes." She had had no trauma or fever, her vision was fine, her appetite was the same, but she did have a constantly runny nose. Her physical exam was notable for tenderness over her sinuses, allergic "shiners...
