Pulsating and throbbing headache
I have few episodes of throbbing severe pain in back of left side of head. It lasts for few seconds only then normal. No nausea or any pain at any other area of pain . No systemic illness .. No fever or any associated symptoms. Area of pain is slightly above n behind left ear.How can I relieve this pain ? I haven't tried OTC pain killers because pain was never lasting long but today it happened 3-4 times in a day.

If this is first time, you better consult neurologist and do a CT head on urgent basis.

In the absence of other symptoms, it could be a primary headache with various underlying etiologies.
I suggest you take a trial of OTCs for 3 days and then observe your symptoms.
Consult back if it persists, worsens or new symptoms arise.
