A member asked:
Im getting over viral tonsillitis and have serious stabbing pain in my left temple that comes and goes quickly, ibuprofen does not help, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neuralgia: These sharp, fleeting pains are characteristic of neuralgia which is an irritability of a superficial scalp nerve and is more of a nuisance than anything serious or due to a brain problem. This condition tends to resolve within a few days without any treatment. If symptoms persist or worsen, see your physician or a neurologist for evaluation.
