Question
I’ve recently noticed that my forehead always feels painful, especially uncomfortable when I wake up in the morning, and medication doesn’t seem to help. I would like to inquire about the causes and treatment methods for forehead pain.
Answer
Hello, there are many potential causes of headaches, including colds, ear, nose, and throat diseases, abnormal blood pressure, brain disorders, anemia, constipation, gas or alcohol poisoning, and nerve fatigue. Headaches can be caused by stimulation of the meninges or constriction of blood vessels, or they may indicate insufficient oxygen in the brain. To solve the headache problem, it is necessary to find the cause. Headaches can be triggered by physical factors, neuro-psychological factors, dietary factors, sleep factors, and disease factors. Methods to alleviate headaches include cold compresses, rest, massage, drinking green tea, meditation, wrapping a towel around the head, etc. Gastrodia elata is a traditional Chinese medicine remedy for headaches that can be cooked with meat or pork ribs and chicken for consumption. Gastrodia elata is suitable for symptoms such as hypertension, dizziness, headaches, facial palsy, numbness of the limbs, and pediatric convulsions. It should be noted to avoid cooking with lamb.
