Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
A mild headache with tenderness, as you have described, is likely to be a tension headache. The most common cause for such headaches is tension / stress and lack of adequate rest. If this has been there only for a short while, then you don't have to worry much. You can just take a mild pain killer, have adequate rest and drink enough fluids.
However, if the headache has been chronic or recurrent, then, it would be advisable to see a doctor for a detailed evaluation, in order to rule out other possibilities.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Regards,
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
