Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In The Head

For the last week my head has been hurting on right side with stabbing pains fairly frequently. 2 years ago i had malignant melanoma taken out of forearm. Throughout my entire life i have had probably 2-3 headaches. Today i woke up & my right eye was swollen enough that husband also noticed. Is this something I should be worried about?

For the last week my head has been hurting on right side with stabbing pains

Yes. Eye Swelling in a Patient with previous history of Malignant Melanoma is a immediate cause of concern. And the fact that your head has been hurting on the same sides adds to the emergency.
