Health Queries

I have a right-side headache and am a diabetes patient on multiple medications, including Prothiaden 75. I have tried several treatments but need advice for relief.

One-sided headaches can be caused by sinus problems, migraines, or nerve-related pain. Prothiaden itself can occasionally induce side effects or headaches. Instead of self-medicating because you have diabetes and are taking several medications, see a neurologist to determine the cause and carefully modify treatment.
