Persistent headache

2017-04-30 06:20:12
I have had a consistent headache for the past week. The headache suddenly started on monday (24th April, 2017) and has remained with varying intensities ever since. The doctor I consulted presribed nimulid and when the ache ceased to subside, I have been put on Sibelium 10 mg for a period of 10 days (A tablet a day). But the ache still shows no improvement. P.S. I have had a recent eye check up as well with nothing peculiar.

Severe headache lasting for more than a week suggests either migraine or some other neurological pathology. You need to consult a neurologist or psychiatrist to get evaluated in detail. Brain scanning like CT or MRI may be required for better diagnosis
Next Steps
Detailed evaluation with brain imaging
