You need to get treatment for the cough. You may have bronchospasm, post nasal drip, GERD or a combination of factors causing the cough. Did the pain in your head go away? If so, it is likely muscular in origin from the cough. If it did not go away, see your doctor. See a doctor for the cough ASAP. Good luck to you!
