COVID-19 HA's: Headaches are clearly persistent in many who have recovered from COVID-19. In those with prior migraine history, this most likely represents an exacerbation of a pre-existing susceptibility. It is appropriate to use a preventative medicine, and can select OTC (butterbur, riboflavin, magnesium, Co-Q10) or Rx (CGRP, topirimate, valproate, etc). A neurologist can help.

COVID 19: Agree with Dr. Machanic. Although, can't say that this is definitely due to COVID 19 infection you previously had, Headaches are described as one of the symptoms that may linger well past "recovery".
