A member asked:

How can one cure a severe headache and cough?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

2 problems: Headaches don't cause coughing. Coughing may cause headaches. Drugs may cause coughing and headaches. So analyze your problem. Did cough occur first and if so does increase your headache? Were you placed on a new drug and develop both symptoms? So think-respond--> get medical advice after an examination.
