How To Treat Headache?
Hello, I was bitten by a horse fly on the side of my head near my ear 3 days ago which seemingly normal symtoms occurred afterwards. I now have a headache on the same side as the bite. I'm thinking this may be linked to the bite.? Are headaches a common symptom of horse fly head bites?

Hi,
Your headache may or may not be linked to bite.is there any other associated symptoms like fever, redness, and itching. If headache is secondary to fly bite then there is chance of any other associated symptoms. What is the characteristic of headache? The most common cause of headache varies with age and likely common cold, hypertension etc. If headache since only 3 days and no other associated symptoms then you can take paracetamol.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vipul Prajapati
