Why Having Severe Headache And Pressure In Forehead After Filling Cavity?

Hi I got a cavity filled and then a couple of hours after that I had the worst headache of my life it went from my forehead down to my neck it was very painful and felt like there was a lot of pressure. It got so bad that I almost went to the hospital. It did go away today except when I cough I feel a painful pressure.

Thank you for choosing HCM

It seems that you have a throat infection because of the cough that you have. In your case, it is possible that the throat infection is causing the headache. You can manage the throat pain by doing the following:
Drink lots of water
Gargle with warm salt water 5 times a day
Take 15 ml of Syrup ascoril 2 times a day
Take Paracetamol 500 when you feel you have a headache
Sleep for 8 hours a day at least.

Follow up after 3 days. All the best.
Hope this helps you
