Hi,
How are you? DO you still experience the headache? Were you able to go to your doctors? One-sided throbbing headaches are usually associated with migraine headache. It can also be due to another primary headache like ice pick headache, which can occur suddenly. If rest, ice pack, and pain medications do not help provide relief, have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Your complete medical history and direct clinical examination are important. Take care and do keep us posted.
