Provide more details regarding headache
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Primary headache is the most plausible diagnosis with normal MRI brain.
Unilateral headache can be migraine or cluster headache.
The duration of cluster headache is small and is associated with orbital symptoms also. Migraine pain is throbbing, nausea and vomiting and photophobia or phonophobia present.
Tension type headache is sometimes unilateral neck region pain.
Tension type headache is usually bilateral, constricting without any nausea vomiting and with sleep disturbances and anxiety or stress.
For treatment he may continue sibelium and take amitriptyline also.
Short duration pain killers like naproxen can be used.
Other medications are also available like topiramate, valproate, duloxetine depending upon the type of headache and response to treatment.
Provide details regarding duration, intensity, nausea, vomiting, aggravating and receiving factors.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
