What Is The Cure For Flu Symptoms With Intermittent And Severe Headaches?
I m having flu symptoms with a type of headache that I have only experience when having the flu. I m getting steady, consistent flashes of pain the pain on the right side of my head, but when it comes it gives the feeling of tightening a band around my head. Since I feel like I have the flu I am drinking extra water, orange juice, getting lots of rest and eating some garlic to help me get better faster. I ve been taking bayer for the headache, but I am worried because when I had the flu before a few years ago and I had this seem headache it got really bad, like torture. So far it is mild, but slowly getting worse. I have been sick for four days.

Hi,
from history it seems taht you got headache due to having viral infection.
It is self limiting and no specific medicine requires.
Take symptomatic medicine for headache, malaise and lithargy.
Take rest, have enough liquid and water.
As you got mainly headache, go for to rule out other common reasons for headache like blood pressure, eye problem etc.
Ok and take care.
