Hello,
Bath related‐headache (BRH) is a type of paroxysmal, intense headache triggered by contact with water.
I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen.
If the symptoms continue I suggest using Triptans which are prescribed medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
