If you take flight when you have cold it caused blockage of sinus openings because of pressure changes and can lead to intense vacuum headache in the areas of sinuses. You need to take decongestant tablets and nose drops before you take flight
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
