Which condition would cause sensitivity to light and sound along with a headache?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms are most likely due to migraines, which cause severe headaches mainly on one side that last for a few hours (up to 72 hours) and may be associated with other features like limb numbness, nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia.

The other possible causes include the following:

1. Cluster headache (with eye tears).

2. Glaucoma (with eye pain).

3. Secondary to more serious conditions.

Please provide me with more details to reach the appropriate diagnosis:

1. Do you have a fever, red eyes, or nausea?
2. Any muscle weakness?
3. When was the first time you experienced this type of headache?
4. How often do you get this headache?

I would suggest the following:

1. Tablet Paracetamol 1000 mg for the headache.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
