Given that headache is also one of the symptoms of COVID-19, it is natural to get worked up with a bout of a throbbing headache. While it may not be one of the most common signs of COVID-19 (dry cough, fever, extreme exhaustion, lack of smell or taste), roughly 14 per cent people have experienced COVID headache as well, according to the World Health Organization. Before panicking about a headache, be on a lookout for anything out of the ordinary when it comes to your headaches. If it feels like your regular headache or migraine headache minus any telltale signs of COVID-19 (fever, dry cough, loss of smell and taste), it is quite likely a regular headache.
