A headache is pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck that can range from mild to severe. While many headaches are caused by stress, lack of sleep, or dehydration, some may be linked to conditions like migraine, infection, or head injury. Persistent, worsening, or sudden severe headaches require medical attention.
Headaches are one of the most common neurological complaints, but not all headaches are the same. Identifying the type of headache helps guide proper treatment and long-term management.
