Suggest Treatment For Mild Headache And Tingling Sensation In The Head

Ive been having persistent mild headaches for several months. They range from a tingling sensation to mild pressure. They are severe but are persistent. They occur at the scalp line and can seem to be in the sinus area and into the ears but are do not cause sinus trouble.

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The headache you describe may be a primary headache like migraine or tension-type headache with no particular systemic problems causing it.Since no other symptoms present, i will suggest you take a paracetamol-codeine combination like klipal during acute attacks.If pain intense, you add a steroid like prednisolone for 5 days(NB chronic use of this drug is harmful).If symptoms persist, you see the Doctor to investigate you for the causes of secondary headache like systemic infections, high BP...You will also have to avoid stress as much as possible, eat well and healthy and take enough water.
Hope this will help
Best regards
