Regarding Your Headache Concern:**
Headaches persisting for 5 days require careful evaluation. While occasional headaches can be managed with rest and hydration, persistent pain may indicate underlying issues such as tension headaches, migraines, or other conditions that need proper diagnosis.
Immediate Steps You Can Take:**
- Ensure adequate hydration and rest.
- Avoid excessive screen time and stress.
- Over-the-counter pain relief like *paracetamol* (500mg) can be tried, but avoid self-medicating with stronger drugs without medical advice.
When to Seek Consultation:**
- If headaches worsen or recur frequently.
- If accompanied by nausea, vomiting, vision changes, or dizziness.
- If pain disrupts daily activities.
Why a Consultation Is Important:**
- Accurate diagnosis through detailed history and examination.
- Personalized treatment plan to address the root cause.
- Guidance on lifestyle adjustments and preventive measures.
For further assistance or to schedule an appointment, you can reach me on WhatsApp at **eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two**.
