Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
It seems from the history that you are having headache associated with nausea.
These symptoms are seen typically in primary headaches like migraine.
The swelling besides the eye is not related to symptoms of headache or vomiting.
The treatment is by use of analgesics. If the symptoms are recurrent this needs use of prophylactic drugs like flunarizine to prevent recurrent attacks.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you

Brief Answer:
Brain lesions are rare in your age.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for the follow up question.
Brain lesions are rare things and these do present with headache and nausea. But not to worry as these will have some other neurological symptoms. And moreover these are rare in this age group.
In your age group with these symptoms the commonest diagnosis will be to rule out primary headaches like migraine.
Hence no need to worry and if you want to rule out this completely you can go for examination of the brain by CT scan. But clinically you may not require it as of now.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
