I have a bunged up nose and a banging headache. Is it head cold?

I am sorry to hear that you have been unwell.

Yes, this can be termed a head cold.

It is likely that your headache is the result of partial blockage of your sinuses – this leads to an increase in pressure within these cavities and pain.

To treat the cold specifically, you may wish to use Echinacea.

For the blocked nose, we would recommend a herbal nasal decongestant.
