    Hi Shelly,

    Make sure that you're not at all dehydrated, as apparently, it's a really common cause of headaches, in women (don't overdo it, with fluids, as that's not good for you, either). Otherwise, if, as you suspect, it's decongestion, it's definitely worth trying breathing in steam, over a bowl of just boiled water. Even though you're not stressed, it wouldn't hurt, to look for some kind of simple relaxation exercises, online. If you aren't already feeling better, I hope that you find a solution really soon.

    Having a headache for 5 days needs to be investigated,could be a cluster headache,see your GP ,he will probably give you migrain medication to see if it goes away ,u didn't mention any other symptoms so think you got a cluster migrain ,there not very pleasant 

    good luck Shelly
