Recurrent Headaches In The Right Side, Iritis, Stopped Taking Medicine. Due To Recurred Iritis?
I have been having headaches for several weeks now and they seem to be getting a little worse. It is more on the right side than the left. I was using PredForte for iritis but recently stopped. Now I can t tell if the iritis has recurred or if there is another problem. I just moved and do mnot have a doctor in the area.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having recurring iritis.
Iritis is because of inflammation of iris and it is usually chronic and recurrent.
The treatment is mainly by use of steroids like prednisolone.
Since iritis is recurrent this requires evaluation to rule out underlying diseases like autoimmune diseases, infections...
to prevent recurrences.
Headache can be caused by iritis, hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
