I've had a headache for 10 days and it's not getting better no matter what I take (panadol, tylenol, or excedrine migraine). What can I do?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
A new-onset severe headache requires direct medical attention, particularly if it is not responding to pain killers. A thorough evaluation looking into the time of onset, frequency, location, nature of the headache, associated symptoms, factors that make it better or worse, and previous medical history, in addition to a proper physical (including blood pressure measurement) and neurologic examination, are required.
