HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Headache is a common symptom in upper respiratory tract infections.
It can be due to congestion of the sinuses, pressure from coughing or simply one of the associated symptoms.
It can , unfortunately, last for as long as the other symptoms (cough, congestion etc). In most cases for 7 to 10 days.
He can continue to use the panadol as needed.
I hope this helps
