Neurologist consultation for severe headache, Swat, Khyber pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
I have had a severe headache for about 6 days. It started around the same time as a sore throat and fever. The headache is mainly on the left side of my head and around my left eye. Initially, it was extremely severe and lasted throughout the day. It becomes particularly severe when I wake up or get up from sleeping. Sometimes it improves for part of the day but then becomes severe again. The pain has not completely resolved. I have taken 4 Panadol Extra tablets over the last 2 days. I would like to know whether this could be migraine or another type of headache and whether I need further examination or treatment.
Age, family history of headaches ?
Patients age sex and previous history is very important. You need physical examination as to any tenderness around the eye to rule out orbital cellulitis. Is there any fever? Have you had a blood test to determine whether it is infective? And lastly have you seen your local GP for evaluation?
