Hello,
Thank you for the query at health care magic

I would like to know more about your symptoms like
-When did the frequent urination start?
-Any burning during urination?
-Any Fever , vomiting, abdominal pain associated
-Are you sexually active and/or using any type of contraception.

Your symptoms are suggestive of possible urinary tract infection.
Possibility of pregnancy should also be ruled out,you can take a home pregnancy test.

You will need tests like urine analysis, urine culture, urine beta hcg to look for urinary infection/pregnancy.

I recommend that you consult you doctor for evaluation.
Mean while you can take Paracetamol (if not allergic ) for headache.
Avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen until pregnancy is ruled out.
Drink plenty of water ,it can also help with headache which could possibly be due to dehydration
If urine analysis come back positive for infection , you will need antibiotics like nitrofurantoin

Hope I was able to help you
Please feel free to address any more concerns
Regards,
Dr.Lekshmi
