Wiki sinus headache

[ggparker14]

Can anyone help me with a dx code for sinus headache? Would this fall under 478.19?

Thank you for any help.

Sinus headaches cause a dull, deep, throbbing pain in the front
of your head and face. They are caused by an inflammation in your sinuses, sinusitis (sinus infection), and upper respiratory infections. So ICD-9 code of sinus headache will be 478.19.
