Which doctor should I see and what tests do I need for a sharp, shooting pain at the back of my head that started after a viral fever, given that I've had this pain before and am currently taking Combiflam and antibiotics?
This shooting pain at the back of your head could be related to nerve irritation, sometimes triggered by viral infections. I recommend consulting a neurologist or a general physician for an accurate diagnosis. They may advise an MRI of your brain or neck to rule out structural issues, along with basic blood tests. Please continue your Combiflam (ibuprofen/paracetamol) as advised by your doctor for pain relief, but avoid self-medicating with antibiotics unless prescribed.
