Question

Hello lybrate-user.
If the headache persist for longer than 2-3 days then it is better not to take medicines blindly.
Paracetamol is very commonly abused drug which has severe side effects causing liver damage.
Be careful. And seek professional help as and when required.

It can be because of many reason from simple reasons like not sleeping on time or sleeping too much, stress, have long hours of fasting, dehydration to causes like sinusitis, migraine, high blood pressure, tumor etc.  Do this
1. Take adequate night sleep
2. Eat at regular intervals. As starvation/gas can trigger headache
3. Avoid things that can trigger headache. Common triggers include alcohol, caffeine or poor sleep.
 Inculcate good sleep practices like having a regular bedtime schedule and avoiding naps, caffeine and TV before bedtime.
4. Don't take stress- Pursue an enjoyable activity or verbalising frustration to reduce stress and improve mental health.
5. Avoid foods that you know triggers your headache.
