What should I do for persistent headache?

Question

Hi doctor,

Initially, my problem started with a headache, and I felt shaky and dizzy the next day. I felt the same for around four days and went to the hospital. They said that I was dehydrated. But they did not give me anything for it and sent me home. I still have a headache, shaky, dizzy and feel almost worse. What should I do?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am sorry to hear about your persistent troubles.

You need to have plenty of oral fluids. Take Paracetamol 500 mg up to three times a day to relieve the symptoms.

Headaches could be because of multiple reasons. I am enlisting the most common causes.

Are you working too much on the computer? Persistent headaches could also be due to excessive eye strain. Get your vision testing done.

Is your headache more on one side of the head? In that case, there is a possibility of a migraine.

If you have stuffy nose as well, then it could be due to sinusitis.

Try to self-evaluate and find the cause. Till then, for relief, you can have Paracetamol. Take care.
