Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Difficult to identify the cause of headache as there are many different causes. As this is the first time, you need not worry. You may use paracetamol to reduce the headache. If it persists beyond 3 days then you should get a visula check done along with x ray of PNS and if necessary a CT scan head may also be done.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, or need further details, you can use the below mentioned link:
