Hello,
Diprofos injection is a steroid which is used to treat the inflammation and pain in various medical conditions. You can take the injection in case of pain when its needed. I would suggest to try anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen for the headache which has lower side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
