Head ache in outer skull
Almost from a month having pain on my skull exactly above my ears. Which i can physically feel from outside. Pain is also experienced when cough ,swallow. I did consulted physicians who mentioned that it might be because of my sleeping posture. And he recommended some pain killer. Pain killers are helpful however the effect stay for 10-12 hours only.
