I had to repulse to her. suddenly, I felt pain and burning-feel in the left side of head just upper the ear and close to eyebrow. Still it persists although 20 hours passed. please advise what to do. I slept 6 hours last night. thanks. robin

Hi,
Given your description of a headache triggered by a stressful event, I would say that a tension-type headache is the most common possibility. It is a benign headache often triggered by stress and anxiety. For the moment I would suggest simply rest and an over the counter medication such as Ibuprofen for the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
