What May Be The Cause Headache ( Particularly On Temple Region) And Occasional Fever?
Question: From XXXXXXX 2 nd I had a headache ( particularly on temple region) and occasional fever too so I had visited a doctor , she said may be coz of stress I had headache . so she prescribed dolo 650 alone. then even my headache was mild and had fever in night time . and again I consulted her and she said may be viral infection in blood (after taking blood test) . so she prescribed some vitamin c tablet and one more. even now I was having mild headache. and pain in my neck region is severe sometimes . what may be the cause actually? the doctor I visited was also a neurologist .
Brief Answer:
In my opinion, further evaluation is necessary.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Some degrees of headache are acceptable during or after a viral infection.
In general, these pain syndromes may last a couple of weeks and gradual improvement is expected.
Since there is the persistence of the pain even with medication, and neck pain too, in my opinion, further evaluation is necessary.
A cervical MRI is necessary to evaluate degenerative changes of your neck (spondylosis for example) that may justify headaches too.
Discuss with your Doctor these issues.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks
