TRY THE FOLLOWING: Apply ICE packs to the BACK OF YOUR NECK alternating with (WET Heat is best but a heating pad will do) There are OTC packs that can go in MICROWAVE OR FREEZER these wrapped in kitchen towels are best. Stay in a dark room if possible and listen to MUSIC do not use your eyes (TV) This combination of "treatments" help 85% of headaches ranging from migraine to simple "tension" headaches TRY IT! Z

I tested positive for Covid last week and today is the last day of my isolation period. However, Ive had an extremely bad headache since yesterday. Sharp stabbing pain on the left side of my head near my temple. Takes my breath away when it happens. Neither Advil nor Tylenol have seemed to work for it. What should I do? Headache?
