Have Persistent Cough, Headaches. On Cozaar And Lotensin. Is That Sufficient?

My dr took me off my Lotensin that I have been taking for 30 some odd years because I have had a persistent cough...I have been off it for about 3 weeks. He today started me on Cozaar. I just started taking it tonight. I have had a headache for two weeks. . He had taken me off Lotensin because I have had a very persistent cough for a good long time. My question is, What can I take for the headache. Thank you.
