Hello there I have read through your question and would like to tell you that headache can be caused because of a number of reasons like 1 . Migraine 2. Tension headache. 3. Cluster headache 4. Headache associated with infection. 4. Headache related to hypertension. etc. The duration and location along with age of the patient is a key to diagnose the reason of headache. Other associated symptoms like fever, nausea have to be taken into consideration. You should consult a internal medicine specialist or neurophysician for your headache. For time being you can take a painkiller like Tylenol for temporary relief. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
