What Causes Headache Along With Sore Throat And Nausea?
at about 1:30-2:00PM on Wednesday, March 2018 I started to have a Mild Headache. I continued throughout my day but I also had a sore throat accompanying it. When I returned home at about 4 the headache had gone from about Mild to Moderate so I decided to get some rest. I took a nap for about 4 hours but when I awoke my headache was persisting. I took a single Advil pill and swallowed it with some water. After about 20 minutes my headache wore off but when I went to sleep I was awoken in the middle of the night with a headache again. It was also accompanied by a return of my sore throat. When I attempted to return to sleep I couldn t. It was almost as if I felt I was asleep but I could move my eyes and when I did, I returned to consciousness. This brings me to where I am writing this email, my headache is fine as long as I lay down and don t stand up. My sore throat is manageable as well but I have a very, VERY slight feeling of nausea. I have not checked my temperature yet so I am unaware whether or not I have a Fever.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The causes of headache should be ruled out. This can also occur due to viral infection so take treatment for sore throat. If it recovers and still headache is there then it needs to be evaluated.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions. Regards, Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
