Suggest Treatment For Cough And Headaches

Low pressure headache needs to be excluded.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and these could represent low pressure headaches due to CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) leak. This leak can occur due to small break in dura (covering of brain or spinal cord). This condition results in headache when sitting or standing, which subsides on lying down. Headache also increases on coughing or sneezing.
As of now, you can take Ibuprofen tablets for relief.
However, if the symptoms persist, please get evaluated by a neurologist.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
