Hello,
It may migrainous headache or temporal arteritis or cervical nerve compression etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet pregabalin 75 mg once daily for five days.
Use tablet Naprosyn twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved or developed side effects to above drug please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
