Hi, the causes could be tension headache, cluster headache or neuropathic pain. Toothache can also lead to similar kind of pain. Try antibiotic cover (cephalaxine, doxycycline etc) for 5 days along with anti inflammatory drugs. If apin persist even after consuming antibiotics, consultation with doctor is must to rule out of diagnose the cause.

”A tension headache is the most common headache, and yet it's not well understood. A tension headache generally produces a diffuse, usually mild to moderate pain over your head. Many people liken the feeling to having a tight band around their head. A tension headache may also cause pain in the back of your neck at the base of your skull.

A tension headache may cause you to experience a dull, achy pain or sensation of tightness in your forehead or at the sides and back of your head. Many people liken the feeling to having a tight band of pressure encircling their heads. In its most extensive form, the pain feels like a hooded cape that drapes down over the shoulders. Some people with tension headache experience neck or jaw discomfort”.
