There are not just one but many causes of such a headache.
We go by the common ones to the uncommon ones.
First I would want you to give your body rest for some days, and avoid smoking/alcohol and caffeine. Stress can also cause such a headache.
It could be sinus issues also
But in case, you feel symptoms which are weird, like blurred vision, vertigo, severe headache, seek medical attention.
But atleast once, you need a proper consultation.

Hlo sir
it sounds like you are having a recurring one-sided headache, which started after a recent cold and may be worsened by night shifts. You can try the following:
Take rest and try to maintain regular sleep even with night shifts. Stay well hydrated and avoid skipping meals. You can take a painkiller like paracetamol when the headache starts, but do not exceed the recommended dose. Avoid excessive caffeine or alcohol. Try to reduce stress and take short breaks during work.
Since your headache is recurring on one side, lasts for several days, and comes back after taking medicine, it is important to consult a doctor to rule out issues like sinus problems, migraine, or other causes.
If you develop symptoms like vision changes, weakness on one side, confusion, high fever, or vomiting, seek medical attention immediately.
I hope it helps you.thanku 😊

Since your headache started after a recent cold and is one-sided, it could be due to sinus-related issues, migraine, or tension headache, especially with night shifts affecting your sleep.
Next Steps
Take adequate rest and stay well hydrated.
Try steam inhalation twice daily if you still have nasal blockage.
Maintain a regular sleep schedule as much as possible.
You may take a simple pain reliever like paracetamol when required.
