Brief Answer:
Need a few more details

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your query. I need a few details regarding the pain. Do you observe any swellings? Any recent history of trauma in that region before the pain started? Were you under any stress in the recent past?
I see that you are using Vasograin, does the pain resemble migraine? Any other associated symptoms that you think are present coexisting with the pain in the head? You also said it occurs only once a day? And it happens every day?

Please get back with the above details and I will be able to suggest you a remedy.

Brief Answer:
It is most probably a stress induced headache

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If it is negative for all the symptoms, it most probably is a stress-induced headache. You should first start with a trial of Dolo 650 mg which can be taken to a maximum of 4 times a day, 6 hours apart each. During this period it is best to avoid consuming alcohol, if you have the habit. If it doesn't help, you should try other OTC preparations like Ibuprofen for a period of a week along with OTC antacids. Don't worry much about it as it looks benign now. If it doesn't abate even after a period of 3 weeks I think it would be right time to visit a Neurologist.

If you have any other query, please do let me know.

Regards
