Headaches / Facial Pain

Headaches / Facial Pain

Any pain in the head is referred to as a headache. A headache may be localized, radiate from one area across the head, affect one or both sides of the head, or feel like a vise is tightening.

Headaches can present as a dull ache, throbbing discomfort, or sharp pain. They can last from less than an hour to several days and may develop gradually or suddenly.

Headaches come in many forms and variations. One type is chronic daily headaches, which occur 15 or more days per month. Other common types of headaches include tension-type headaches and migraines, which can also be chronic.

A migraine is a specific type of headache that often affects one side of the head and can cause intense throbbing pain or a pulsating sensation. It is frequently accompanied by severe sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. The pain from migraine attacks can be so debilitating that it interferes with daily activities and can last for hours or even days.

  • Acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol)
  • Triptans, such as zolmitriptan (Zomig) and sumatriptan (Imitrex), are prescription drugs.
