ABSTRACT
COVID-19 and Headaches Abstract. Headaches are a common symptom of COVID-19 infections. Patients generally describe them as bilateral, predominantly frontal, squeezing and of moderate or severe intensity. Searching for "Red Flags" often allows distinction from primary headaches - usually fever, cough, and elevated inflammatory markers accompany COVID-19-associated headaches. Prospective studies did not confirm caveats against the use of ibuprofen as symptomatic treatment. While carrying facial masks often caused headaches, probably by compressing sensory nerves, many patients' migraine frequencies dropped during lockdown. Treatment of patients with primary headaches was complicated by quarantine and many centres offered online consultations.
