Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

i presume you had MRI of brain and it was normal. This is because in view of your predominantly one-sided symptoms, we need to exclude a lesion on the right side of brain such as ischemia (lack of blood flow) or demyelination (such as multiple sclerosis).

If possible, please upload a copy of your MRI brain report.

As of now, you can diclofenac or ibuprofen for control of headaches.

I hope it helps.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
