For a cold and headache, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to relieve the headache. For congestion, a decongestant like pseudoephedrine can help. Be careful not to double up on active ingredients if you take multi-symptom cold medications, as many already contain pain relievers. Get plenty of rest, stay well-hydrated, and try saline nasal sprays to relieve pressure. If your headache is unusually severe, or if your symptoms worsen or last more than 10 days, please consult a healthcare professional in person for a proper evaluation.
