A headache is something that everybody experiences once in a while. There are many ways how you can go through a headache and it comes with different pain sensations. Almost 90% of all headaches are tension headaches caused by stress, sickness or distress in the muscles because you are taking a certain position for a period of time. You can have a headache on different locations in your head. You can have a headache right side of your head or on the back side of your head. However, most often it is central on the top of your head. When you have a headache it is in 99% nothing to worry about as it will pass by. But when do you know when to worry and when is it normal?
Causes of headaches
Sometimes people will start worrying because they have a headache for a few days that just won’t go away. They might be worried sick and even think it is a brain tumor. Although brain tumors also cause headaches, these are more specified to a certain action such as sneezing, pressing or keeping your head upside down. When there is a continuous headache there is often nothing seriously wrong.
However, when you have frequent headaches on the right side of your head or on other places, that might be a symptom of migraine or chronic headaches. Both conditions are also quite serious because they cause distress and discomfort but they are not life threatening. A migraine is a neurological disorder and needs to be diagnosed by your doctor or neurologist. The doctor will do some tests to see what it is and prescribe you the right treatment.
Treatment for headaches
Although there is no cure for migraine, there are some ways that you can reduce the number and impact of the attacks. There are medications that will help prevent a new attack and treatments that give some relief while you are having an attack
To conclude, most of the times you have a headache on whatever side of your head, there is probably nothing wrong with you. If it stays for a few days or weeks than you should ask your physician to take a closer look. However, most headaches are caused by stress and by a wrong working position. If you are working at a computer, than have a look at how you are working. Is your back straight? Is your chair ergonomic? Try to take short brakes when you are working on office places and try to relax your neck.
When the pain in your neck or head remains than it is advised to consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and possible treatment.

I’m suffering from right-sided headache with running nose, watery eyes & ear pain on the same side, almost everyday, since about 3 years.
Please help me, doctor.

Hi Dipali.
Three years is a very long time to be suffering from a headache. It may be something in your lifestyle, or an allergic reaction to your environment, or an underlying medical problem.
It best for you to see a doctor as soon as possible – who may then refer you to an appropriate specialist to conduct further tests.
Good luck – and let us know how the visit to your medic goes 🙂
