Headache and Nausea — Which Doctor Should I See?

Headache with nausea can result from migraines, inner ear disorders, infections, medication side effects, dehydration, or increased intracranial pressure. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.

Consult a doctor if symptoms last over 24 hours, are severe, accompanied by fever/stiff neck, vision changes, confusion, or weakness. Seek emergency care for sudden severe headache with high fever.

Rest in a dark, quiet room, stay hydrated, apply cold/warm compress to head, and eat light foods. Over-the-counter pain relievers may help. Avoid triggers and consult a pharmacist about suitable medications.
