Brief Answer:
Need to treat symptomatically.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and would like to reassure you that initially, symptomatic treatment is needed. This includes analgesics (ibuprofen, diclofenac) for treating headache and anti-emetics (ondansetron) for vomiting.

If symptoms persist, then, investigations such as brain scan, blood tests, etc would be needed.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
