Headache should take what medicine to be effective?

Ask
I have a headache . A feeling of heaviness in the head. Go to the doctor and diagnose sinusitis. But there is no uncomfortable feeling in the nose and sinuses, only a headache, pain all over the head, taking the medicine and not helping. When I woke up, the pain was gone, but the pain came back. The doctor helped me with medication advice. Thank you very much

Hi there. Headache is a symptom of many diseases. It can be divided into 3 major groups of causes:
Headaches caused by damage to the brain, brain vessels: encephalitis, head trauma, stroke, brain tumor, brain vascular malformation.. Headache caused by muscle disease. such as: High blood pressure, low blood pressure, body infection, body poisoning, malnutrition, anemia.... Headaches due to psychological causes, weather: Stress, depression, sleep disorders When you sleep, you can see sinusitis when taking a sinus scan, but sometimes you have headaches for other reasons too. If you have headaches related to work, stress, anxiety, weather, etc., just taking medicine is not enough. You need to find solutions for work, family life balance, rest, exercise, etc..
You should also see a neurologist to find the real causes of brain damage, cerebral vessels and other organs.. especially cerebral vascular malformations. The use of drugs must be according to the cause, do not buy drugs with folk names such as: brain tonic, improve brain circulation, or use according to the prescription of others when they see that they are helping.
Unfortunately, I don't have enough information to prescribe it specifically for you. But I hope to give you some knowledge so that you know where you need to go, what to look for, and how to treat a headache with not only taking medicine, but also having to combine many other methods...
