Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

I am sorry for the headache you are having since yesterday.

The cause could be :
- sinusitis
- bad teeth
- migraine
- eye problems

You can take the following to ease the pain :
- OTC pain killers (ibuprofen )
- local analgesic cream
- relaxing massage oils locally
- keep well hydrated
- measure your blood pressure and sugar levels when you have the pain attack andrecord the results

If the pain persists, should go to ER for immediate evaluation and treatment.
A further consultation with;
- dentist
- neurologist
- eye specialist
and xray of sinuses recommended.

Wish fast recovery.
Dr.Albana
