What Causes Severe Cough And Constant Headaches?
Hi, I have had a really bad cold with the wost cough i have ever had cough. I am feeling better, but after the night that I coughed the worst, I developed a really bad headache. It is on the left side of the top of my head and I have had the headache for the last 4 days. It gets worse when I cough or bend down, but it never goes away. Should I be worried about an anuresym or do you think the coughting triggered a migraine??

This is most likely related to sinus congestion. Try taking decongestants to help with the headache. This is what some refer to as a "sinus headache".
