A member asked:

Can viral conjunctivitis cause a headache?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Viral conjunctivitis can sometimes be a part of a larger viral infection. The systemic viral infection can cause headaches. A viral infection confined to the eye can cause photophobia, which can cause a headache.
