A member asked:

Headache on the left side of my head close to my temple that comes and goes only been happening for 2 days and i been had the flu for 4 days normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Headache: The type and severity of headache will dictate the possible need for physician assessment. Might consider giving this a day or two before seeing a doctor, although if you have any other symptoms, particularly alteration in level of consciousness or mentation would seek help immediately.
