What Is The Treatment For Headache And Pain Behind Eye?

Hi for the past 5 days I have had severe headaches and pain behind my right eye. The right side of my face has been tender to touch and I have been feeling generally achy also, especially in my neck and shoulders. I am starting to get worried as I have taken pain killers but the headaches are not getting better. I have a 5 month daughter and have not had a decent nights sleep since she has been born so am hoping it is just down to tiredness. Please can you advise. Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms.

There is no need to worry as symptoms could be due to muscle tension headache or migraine, which has got aggravated due to stress/tiredness.

Now, you can take medicines for pain relief, such as naproxen or diclofenac tablets.

If the pain does not subside in a few days, you can consult a neurologist and get a brain scan done to exclude any internal problem.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
