How to relieve cold water lasting headache?

@aliali, I would have a concern that it has lasted 7 days. From what I have read, the type of headache you describe should only last a very short time.

"Ice cream headaches are brief, stabbing headaches that can happen when you eat, drink or inhale something cold. Biting into an ice cream cone is a common trigger, but eating or drinking other frosty items, such as ice pops and slushy frozen drinks, can have the same "brain-freeze" effect. Officially known as cold stimulus headaches, they can also occur when you suddenly expose your unprotected head to cold temperatures, such as by diving into cold water.
The good news: Most ice cream headaches are gone as quickly as they develop..."

Have you discussed the cold water headache symptoms with your doctor?

@aliali, this is a question for a medical professional. I, too, would be concerned about a persistent headache that has lasted for 7 days or more. It may or may not be related to the cold water submersion. Please let us know what you find out from your doctor.

@aliali Hey,
Do you have news on this, I have the same issue after pouring cold water on my head I'm having a headache for now 3 days and it won't go away, can you please tell me how it ended up, did it disappear by itself or did you took some medication? Thank you

I used an ice bath for the first time and my blood pressure rose to 208! It is normally normal to low (120). I am 62 years old and swim all year round in the ocean. Not so cold in Sydney ocean (17 deg.C). I have had a headache for a week now on the right side of my head down to the base of the skull. Family doctor seems to think it will pass but I would like to know further information.

Same here with the persistant headache. Have you still got it?

I've had one for a week now. It goes with medication then keeps returning.

Hey @labjrbzac
So sorry to hear you also going through this.

In my case it went away slowly after 4 days and after doing something called "hijama", however I feel sometimes very very slightly pain when moving my head too fast, I'm very depressed I feel that I fucked up my brain and there is no scientific resources about it.

Thanks for your reply. I'm going to get my doctor to authorize an MRI. I won't live on painkillers. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks, if you got something showing up on MRI let me know please

Of course. Doctors appointment is this coming Monday.
