Severe headache with cold symptoms may occur due to sinus congestion or a viral infection. You may take ibuprofen or a combination cold remedy (such as paracetamol with phenylephrine) if you have no stomach, kidney, or asthma problems. Try steam inhalation, drink warm fluids, and get adequate rest. Seek medical attention promptly if the headache persists, worsens, or is accompanied by high fever, vomiting, or vision problems.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing severe head pain along with cold symptoms. Since you have already taken two paracetamol tablets and the pain remains unbearable, it is important to seek prompt medical evaluation. Severe headache can sometimes indicate conditions that require urgent attention.

What you should do next:

  • Contact a doctor immediately to discuss your symptoms in detail. If the pain is sudden, very intense, or accompanied by other symptoms like vision changes, weakness, confusion, or difficulty speaking, seek emergency care right away.
  • Avoid taking any additional pain medications without medical advice, especially since some migraine-specific medications require a prescription and careful use.
  • Rest in a quiet, dark room and stay hydrated.
  • Monitor your symptoms closely and note any new or worsening signs.

Given your symptoms and the lack of relief from paracetamol, a neurologist or general physician can provide a thorough assessment and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include prescription medications such as those used for migraines.

If your symptoms worsen or you develop alarming signs, please call emergency services immediately (Apollo Emergency - 1066).
