Headache Caused by Fan Use: What Medication Should I Take?
Disease description:
I get headaches whenever I use a fan—I’m very sensitive to cold air. There’s no medication at home right now, so I’d like to ask: what medication would be most appropriate for fan-induced headaches?

Hello, headaches caused by using an electric fan are primarily due to wind-cold invasion. It is not advisable to rely on medication for relief. Instead, gently massaging the temples may help alleviate the pain. In daily life, try to avoid prolonged exposure of the same side of your head to the fan; consider using an oscillating fan instead. Also, take care to stay warm. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and instead consume more fresh vegetables, fruits, and warm water. Regular physical activity is also recommended. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
