A member asked:
Can a headache on top of head indicate a brain tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That can be anything: Most people get a headache at some time, such as from colds, infections, lack of sleep, too much driving, long hours on the computer, stress at work, etc. Over-the-counter options include Tylenol (acetaminophen) Motrin, Alleve, Excedrin Migraine and their generic brands. A bad or increasing headache, recurrent headache, weird headache, or one that won't go away needs to be examined by a doctor.
