A doctor has provided 1 answer
To minimize chance of delayed intracranial bleeding, I'd avoid anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen and take Tylenol, according to instructions, to relieve headache and strains of muscles. Alternate cold& hot compresses for these. Consult your MD if symptoms don't improve or if any excessive drowsiness, worsening headache, nausea, vomiting,confusion,visual symptoms or other neurological symptoms.

I keep getting head aches that start around either eye, usually my left but now starting at my right. The pain is usually one sided and very strong. Today I have taken Tylenol and ibuprofen in rotation as well as napping to try to kick the head ache and nothing. I am unsure why I get these and they seem to be getting more frequent. Head aches?
