Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The slight discomfort you are feeling to the left side of your head could be related to:
- common cold / flu
- stress
- drinking alcohol
- smoking tobacco or taking any illicit drug
- ear or throat infection, especially when you are having symptoms of flu
If in a one month time, your headache won't improve even after taking o.t.c pain killers, then, must consult a neurologist!
All the best!
