Suggest Remedy For Chronic Headache Post A Bout Of Cold

Hi. I m just recovering from a cold...cough has pretty much gone away and no other symptoms minus a bit of fatigue. I started getting headaches the last 4 or 5 days. Only around the right side of my head...just a low throbbing type of pain. I can put up with it but sometimes it s just enough that I cannot fully open my eyes. Goes away after some Tylenol. Do you think this is more of a headcold?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi. I am doctor naveed. I m sorry to hear about your problem. I understand your concern. Headache is not uncommon during and after cold. Not usually a sign of danger. Also nasal congestion can be the reason. If you are still having nasal congestions then i suggest using a decongestant which ll relieve both the decongestion and headache. Also take an advil as needed for the pain not exceeding a day.
Thanks
