Hello,
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persists you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated. We have to rule out conditions like cerebral thrombosis.
You might require MRI for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
