Brief Answer:
Frontal Sinusitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Headache above the eye brows after episodes of cold can be because of frontal sinusitis.
Treatment is anti inflammatory medicines like paracetamol + diclofenac combination drugs twice daily for 3 to 5 days to reduce the pain.

Along with this, anti histamine + decongestant tablet twice daily for 3 to 5 days would be helpful.
Steam inhalation daily thrice may be helpful.
If symptoms persists for more than 3 days with this treatment, then please consult with your doctor and get evaluated.

Hope my answers have helped you.

Thanks.
