What is the reason for a radioactive headache?

Patient's question:

Recently, I have often felt headaches, and yesterday I went for a tutorial to have a thorough check-up. The doctor said I have a radiating headache. I want to know, what is a radiating headache?

Doctor's answer:

When the central nervous system is affected, pain not only occurs during the impact but also reappears in surrounding nerves. This type of pain is called radiating pain, and if it occurs in the head, it is referred to as radiating headache. In the short term, it is necessary to consider taking many oral pain relievers. However, to prevent recurrence, it is essential to further identify the specific cause of the pain. After locating the pain point, only by treating the root cause can recurrence be prevented.
It is recommended to go to the hospital for further thorough examination. Measure body temperature and blood pressure. Conduct a blood routine test. Perform an electroencephalogram (EEG). If necessary, take a CT scan of the head. After a clear diagnosis is confirmed, consider further treatment plans. Exclude organic inflammation.
