So for the last month or so, I've gotten headaches almost everyday if I don't take an asprin. However, I think that my mastoid is bruised because I hit it on my brother's car a couple of months ago, and it hurts on the lightest pressure. My dad thinks I could have mastoiditis because I've complained of an ear infection, a common part of mastoiditis. However, when I went to the doctor, I didn't have an ear infection, and the symptoms of the infection aren't regular, just off and on for a while.
Any suggestions to get rid of the headaches?

I too, have problems with headaches/migranes for the past two years now. I currently have a neurologist that I go to regurarly to manage my headaches. She says the the daily headaches were due to increased stress, less sleep, a poor diet, and since I have food allergies, poor nutrition. I also get migranes ocasionally, currenlty, I'm working with my neurologist and we're trying to find prevenative medicines that work for me...if your problem continues, I suggest making an appointment with a neurologist. They'll ask you questions about your diet and what you're headaches are like. Make a headache diary. Write down when, for how long, the severity, where it hurts, the way in which it hurts (ex. throbbing or constant pain) and any side effects of your headache (ex nausea, vomiting, etc)They could possibly give you a CAT or CT-scan or MRI if they think it's necessary. Also tell them how you hit your head, I don't know what you're talking about with mastoidities but, in the mean time, take a few Naproxen-Sodium, or more commonly known as Aleeve, if regular asprin doesn't work for you. Good luck.

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

They could be migranes. You should go to your family doctor and ask for migrane pill prescriptions. or even better, go to a hospital and tell the doctor the incident of hitting your head and the symptoms of how it hurts when pressure is put on it and so on. Then ask him what tests are needed to figure out what it is.
good luck!!
i hope you feel better too~~

I used to get headaches all the time, and I went to see a doctor.
Turns out my eyes were straining and I needed to get glasses.
Maybe you need to get some, or if you already have some, get a new prescription.

Maybe you are stressed. Stress increases the blood flow to the brain which can cause headaches. Try to relax.

maybe you should get a cat scan to make sure its nothing serious.
