What Causes Pain At The Base Of The Head?

My son 36 woke up at 3 am last Saturday with a headache. It has not really gone away. It is based on the right side of the base of his head. He had been snowboarding that day. he was also using a feather pillow, which he may be allergic to. He has been taking ibuprofen, which has helped, but it has not really gone away.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

I would suggest to get his blood pressure checked once. Also, if there is history of cold or allergy due to the feathers, a nasal decongestant might help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shalki Mattas
