default
Posted on Sat, 25 Jan 2014
Question: The other day I had a headache from the back of my head to my forehead. Then yesterday pain on my temple for the whole day. This morning when I woke up I have a small bump (like a big pimple) near my left temple. The back of my left ear is also painful. Now I am also experiencing slight pain on my left eyebrow. Please help me to assess these symptoms. It's winter in my area now. I am a female, aged 31. No symptoms like these before.
