How To Prevent Headache And Hurting Ear Veins During 16 Weeks Pregnancy?

Hi doctor,
I am having severe headaches on and off. Along with headaches my veins at the back of ear also hurts.
If I press my ear where I can press my veins , it feels soothing. My headaches are also after head bath.
I am not taking any medicine as I am 16 weeks pregnant. I must say that taking steam and applying ecalyptus oil
Helps to reduce pain but doesn't goes completely. My husband massages my head which relieves me.
I think I have gas in my head which causes pain. Please advise how can I prevent my headaches and hurting ear veins.

Hi. You can take Dolo 650mg for headache which is safe in pregnancy and it can be repeated 3 to 4 times , if required.Also you can get one eye ex. (fundus ex.) to see the cause of headache. If you feel it is due to gas, then avoid constipation. take fibre rich diet and lot of fluids. Don't take anything spicy and relax.You can cotinue to have massage.
Thanks.
