Ongoing headache - pain meds not helping

posted 4th Dec
I know you're not doctors, but was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to why this is?
It's been consistent for at least two days. I gave birth to my son on nov 23rd - not sure if this is a factor.
It's not a really bad headache, but it lingers in my temples and it makes my whole wad tense. Especially my eyes I cant really blame it on sleep deprivation, since my boy is a decent sleeper and my SO watches over him until later so I can sleep in.
Blah. Headaches suck.

could very well be caused by hormone changes post pregnancy... keep hydrated with water, take some tylenol and just try to relax and sleep, or try taking some benedryl with tylenol   see if that helps!! Hope you feel better soon!!

I get them all the time in the same temple and behind my eye they are very painful and annoying, but best advice is to get motrin, and use an ice pack, heat never really helps but ice instantly helps and caffeine also helps, but sometimes there isn;t anything I can do just wait it out

Do you take an iron supplement? I was really anemic after I had my son, and I always get bad headaches when my iron is low.

Maybe I should - my mother always comments on how pale I look and how I need iron.
