Head pain on one side lasting many hours and recurring frequently may be due to migraine. If painkillers are not helping, a proper medical evaluation is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Avoid triggers such as stress, lack of sleep, or irregular meals. Consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and suitable treatment to prevent and control attacks.
