Unless you have migraines, that headache is caused by something and you'll be much better taking an anti-allergic, or a sinus cleaner, or whatever else actually solves the underlying issue or make the specific symptom go away.

The same goes for muscle aches. There is also specific medicine for them. And you are probably better with an anti-inflammatory for a bump. (It's not normal for cuts to hurt for a long time.)

Thanks for the diagnosis, Dr. Internet Rando.

You can't even say what I should take. X or Y or... whatever else? That's not helpful at all.

If you don't know what causes a random headache, that's a good reason to ask a doctor.

if you go to any doctor of any specialization in any point of the world and tell them "doctor, once every three months I get an headache" I guarantee that the answer will be "does it go away with an ibuprofen/paracetamol?"

Maybe HN commenters.
