Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your husband symptoms could be related to tension type headache. Local inflammation, a temporo-mandibulary joint dysfunction or temporal arteritis can not be excluded either.
Coming to this point, I recommend consulting with his GP for a physical exam and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate).
If these tests result normal, it is necessary consulting with his dentist for an exam of the TMJ.
If this joint results normal, a brain MRI study may be needed.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
