Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain. Headache which fails to get resolved after using classical drugs need a closer evaluation. Though headaches often have no underlying cause, there are several other conditions that can cause this. It would be best to get consulted by a neurologist because of the persistence and non response to treatment on two occasions. Maybe a basic investigation to make sure nothing bad is going on in the brain would be required.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
