Patient's question:
I always have a headache, and it's on the right side. The pain doesn't last very long, sometimes only a few seconds, sometimes up to twenty seconds. It feels like it's flickering. The headaches have been frequent these past few days. It started in May and has continued until now, in October. What could be causing a one-sided headache?Doctor's answer:
If a migraine occurs again, it is usually caused by vascular headaches. Many analgesics can be used first to relieve pain symptoms. If accompanied by neuralgia, many neural drugs can also be used. During treatment, try to avoid spicy, internally heating foods, otherwise the pain symptoms will worsen. If the continuous treatment is not effective, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, pay attention to getting adequate sleep, and avoid bad habits such as smoking and alcohol, to prevent direct exposure to strong light. Prevent overexertion and exposure to cold wind.
