Brief Answer:
Headache and eating that food may or may not be related.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
Headache and eating that food may or may not be related.
I would like to know whether post having that food, causes vomiting, gastritis?
Is there any associated cold, ? Sore throat?

Now presently along with the pain killer (mention the name of pain killer prescribed) I would have prescribed you capsule omeprazole 20mg once daily for week, before breakfast. As you have started the medicines today take it for the prescribed duration and observe for the difference.
Along with the medication, go for steam inhalation with few drops of eucalyptus oil in it, few times a days for three days, as this headache may also be due to sinusitis.
Drink of plenty of water especially warm waterr.
Take table spoon of honey in the morning along with glass of warm water.

Hope this helps
Take care
