Cluster headache is usually present in male with onset in young age. It is very disabling unilateral onset and may be associated with ocular or retroorbital pain. A close differential diagnosis to be looked for is glaucoma which sometimes presents with ocular pain, redness, blurring, pupil dilatation and severe frontal headache.
Your case seems to be cluster headache if it has above features with periodicity. Patients improve spontaneously after few days and may be asymptomatic for months. Few may require prophylaxis. Consult a nearby neurologist. Hoping for your recover .
