Cough Headaches in Phoenix, Arizona
Coughing from a cold, allergies, or throat irritation can sometimes cause sudden head pain or pressure. ENT specialists classify these as primary or secondary cough headaches.
Primary cough headaches are usually brief and occur during or immediately after coughing, sneezing, or laughing. They often cause sharp pain on one or both sides of the head and typically resolve on their own.
Secondary cough headaches are more serious and may last longer. They can be associated with underlying conditions affecting the brain and may include severe pain, dizziness, balance issues, or headaches that worsen with position changes.
