A member asked:

I've had a headache for 4 days and it's on the lower left side of my head, what's wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: In the abscence of any neurological symptoms such as weakness, numbness, speech problems, it is hard to say that there is a mass lesion in the brain such as a tumor. However, if the headaches do not improve, you should check with your doctor. He may want to do some imaging study such as an MRI scan.
