Hi, I've had a headache on the right side of my head for weeks now. I only had one day that it was gone, the rest of the time it ranges from mild pain to very severe and feeling like my head is going to explode. Combining tylenol/advil works but I've read about rebound headaches so I don't want to keep taking it. I have people in my house with immune system disorders so I'm hesitant to get checked and potentially expose everyone to covid.

I've had a similar headache before but it only lasted a couple of days before I realized it was a combination of my pony tail being too tight and my pillow being pretty worn out. As soon as I fixed those things it went away almost instantly. This time I've tried that again but it doesn't help. This time it actually seems to be worse when I'm standing.
