What Causes Headache Behind Left Eye?
I am 47. Female. I have had a headache behind my left eye for past 48 hours. I have treated it with paracetamol or nurofen which has helped but once that wears off the pain is still there. I have experienced this type of headache before but not for about two months now and never for more than one day. The pain is enough to prevent me from sleeping.
Please advise if I should see a doctor. I am currently away from my usual home.
Thankyou
