Summary

After a third COVID infection in August 2023, the user developed a constant tension headache that did not respond to OTC painkillers; earlier infections had left no lingering symptoms. Advil did nothing, while Aleve took the edge off enough to fall asleep. The headache stopped after three weeks, and by mid-November they reported it had ended.
