What Causes Severe Right Sided Headache?
I have had a throbbing pain in my right occipital lobe for 3 days now. I believed it to be an earache although I do have pain in the ear itself. I have been using an old prescription for Ciprodex and Aleve. The throbbing improves for a short while and then returns. I am not one to run right out an see a doctor. Any other recommendations?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to migraine.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the symptoms.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to use Triptans which are prescription medication.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
