Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having scleritis and headache. Scleritis needs to be evaluated to find out the underlying cause like connective tissue disorders, autoimmune disorders, infective causes....
Oral steroid tablets offer better relief but you need to taper them carefully to prevent side effects.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly depending on the underlying cause.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
