Question
Sir,for last few days i am having a headache which is not severe in nature but remains almost all the times in day.Sometimes seems a ray of contraction on the head. i was gone through a CT scan a few months back but the report was normal.other symptoms like cough, drosiness & fatigueness is all the time. Could these be the symptoms of Brain Tumour?

Answer
If a rather recent CT scan was negative it is far less likely that you now have a brain tumor causing these symptoms. Your other symptoms are those of an upper respitatory infection which makes it possible that what you have causing the head ache is a sinus infection/inflammation. Let a dr. check you!
