Brief Answer:
try a painkiller?

Detailed Answer:
hi
i have read your response
a 1st time headache really warrants a mri brain
it is in fact a indication to get an mri
i therefore recommend the same to you
of course, everyone has a headache once in a while
so you can try a simple painkiller like a paracetamol to see if it helps
if it does help, you may not worry
else, an mri is advisable
please feel free to contact me for further details

My question has been about the 95 temperature

Answered by Dr. Saumya Mittal (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
If repeat is ok , don't worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi
about the temperature, it may have been just a normal phenomenon of the body. A lot depends on the environmental temperature and therefore one has to consider it accordingly. Also, the nutrition status is important. With severe headache he may not have eaten well.

If the repeat temperature is normal, you need not worry.
