Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your wife's symptoms. I would like to reassure you that they do not suggest any serious disease, and there is no need to visit a doctor.
She can take symptomatic treatment to relieve the headache with medications such as ibuprofen or diclofenac tablets.
Please watch for symptoms such as vomiting, double vision, drowsiness, severe headache, etc. If any of these occur, she should be taken to the doctor.
I hope my reply has helped you.
