Hello, and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor'

Thanks for posting your query.

I have gone through your query, it looks like you are having migraine.

I would suggest you take Tab. Headset. You can take 1 tablet at a time and do not take more than 2 doses/day. You can also take Tab. Dolo 650mg SOS for pain or uneasiness in between.

I hope this helps. Please feel free to discuss further if any.

Thanks for responding. However I just wanted to tell a bit more about the headache, so that I can give you a clearer picture. It is not a throbbing kind of headache. Also I am not facing any kind of sensitivity to light and sound. Also, this is the first time I am facing this
