What Causes Migraine Attacks Post Tragus Piercing?
I got my tragus pierced yesterday, no pain afterwards, was able to sleep on it, lightly touch it, of course with clean hands. Cleaned it before I went to bed, and now have woken up with a migraine, is this due to the piercing? Is it because I occasionally get migraines? Or is it a factor of both?

Hello,
Thank you for your query.
Look if there is no pain over the pinna not associated with any redness or swelling then i am sure it is not related to your headache...
If you are a patient of migraine.then it is due to that...
Take paracitamol tablet for each bout of acute attack.or sumatriptan+paracitamol combination..
Consult your physician for maintenance dosages..
Hope this is helpful.
Regards.
