Thank you for choosing HCM

It seems that your husband had a viral fever that acted as a trigger factor for the headache. This is what caused the issue of the headache in your husband. Sometimes, even after the viral fever is gone, the headache will persist. This is why it is continuing.

He can try the following to see if it helps him:
Take a Paracetamol 500 when you feel you are about to get a headache
Eat meals at regular times
Inhale steam mixed with Eucalyptus oil to clear the nasal passages
Drink lots of water
Sleep well and get at least 8 hours of sleep a day

Follow up after 3 days so that I can help you better.
Hope this helps you
