HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, headache may not be due to viral infection, if this is being relieved after taking anti viral drug so this could be due to placebo effect, most the time such headache cold be due to anxiety and depression, try to keep the stress level very low, everything would be fine soon, have a nice day.
