Hi,
How are you? Are there other symptoms present? Rest, ice pack, pain medications, and avoidance of triggers may help provide relief. There are many possible triggers of headache, it can be the food you ate, error of refraction in your eyes, from injury, stress, hormonal changes (menstruation), or from primary headaches such as tension and migraine headaches. To avoid confusion, you can have a headache journal so that you can write the possible triggers prior to a headache attack. Write down the things you do or the food that you eat prior to each headache. If you identify a common factor, try to avoid this to avoid the headaches also.   Take care and do keep us posted.
