Hello I'm 18 year old and I want to help my girlfriend who is also 18 years old. He suffers from headache, vomiting, dizziness and sometimes forgetfulness. In 2018 he checked for his head and also had CT-SCAN and the result was that he was negative for brain tumor but in recent days he experienced signs and symptoms of a brain tumor but was unable to check up due to Enhanced Community Quarantine here. Do you have any tips for reducing the pain she is feeling?
Hi, Welcome to icliniq. I hope you are doing well. I understand your concern. I need to know more about the symptoms. I need to know, how frequently she gets a headache, how long she gets a headache, whether it is continuous or intermittent. Any precipitating factors are present such too much noise or too much light. At this age, the most common headache is migraine headaches. It is intermittent, associated with nausea stomach upset, some times vomiting and dizziness. Aggravated by noisy surroundings and lack of sleep. Some time s there are triggers such as lack of sleep, strong smells, hunger. You also must know about red flags or warning symptoms such as severe unilateral headache, Fever, a new type of headache, blurring of vision or weakness. IIf they are present she may be required evaluation. Again migraine is benign conditions can be managed by avoiding triggers. Have a healthy lifestyle and maintain adequate sleep. For pain, paracetamol 500 mg is useful. Hope this is helpful. regards.
