I had a bit of a cold yesterday, I think I’ve caught the back to school lurgy off the kids. They had pcr test not covid. Woke up at 4am with an awful headache. It’s all on one side, starts on the back, left hand side,works it’s way out around the ear.
Not normally a headache type person, maybe with the flu or a bit of a hangover but this is in another league. I’ve necked down all the over the counter painkillers I can find which barely took the edge off. I’ve taken two codiene 30 from when I broke my wrist a few years back and it still hurts but not as badly. I’m not sure if it’s an ear infection settling in , ear doesn’t hurt but feels oddly pressurised. Hurts to chew or swallow.
Does anyone have any advice as to what might help?
