A member asked:

Severe pain above my right temple for the last 20 hours. paracetamol and dispirin have done nothing for me. on .25mg of xanax (alprazolam) and metafac 250mg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Severe pain warrants: Severe pain warrants further investigation. It could simply be rebound from overuse of analgesics but you are a young guy and I would want to rule out temporal arteritis, etc.
