Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Albuterol although causes headache but it's not that much common as are tremors and palpitations.
With history of respiratory tract infection there are two possibilities for headache.
1.Fever
2. sinusitis
I would suggest you if the pain is severe increase on bending forward then go for Paranasal sinuses Xray.
Take Advil or ibuprofen for temporary relief also do steam inhalation.
Hope it helps best.
