3 weeks on headache

Has anyone had a constant headache for weeks? This is my 3rd time with Covid and definitely the worst. I can't shift this headache, and I work full-time and have a 5-year-old, so everything is really hard work.

Yes. I have the headache 4 weeks on. It's relentless.

Have you tried ibruphren instead of paracetamol, I had long covid and this was most persistent symptom. Took me a while to discover this worked better, I think it's due to inflammation so anti-inflammatories worked best. Worth a try🌻

Hiya. The headache is awful isn't it! I had Covid in January 2022 and still have the headache now - hope you fare better.

Oh no @Fredella !! That's awful!

Have you ever tried using one of those 4head sticks? I’ve always been a headachey person and have taken paracetamol for them but after having a virus (covid?flu?) at Christmas and having headaches for two weeks I tried one of the 4 head sticks. It really does help. I whack it on when I’d normally pop a couple of paracetamol and it does seem to make a difference.

I'll give it a go!
