Persistent headache
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.
