Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through the details. Is it associated with nausea, vomiting or photophobia? Does it have any aggravating or relieving factors. You may be having a migraine.
You can have over the counter drugs such as paracetamol 500 mg 2 tablets up to 4 times a day. Other anti-sickness medicines such as Tab. Paramax or Tab. Migramax can be taken up to 3 times a day.
