I'm sorry you're feeling bad.  Maybe try a cold compress.  Also make sure you keep sipping your water.  Your headache may be caused by dehydration.  Hope you feel better!

Dehydration can cause some bad headaches.

Also..were you a big caffeine drinker? Coming off cold turkey can cause headaches that morphine won't take away. I had to wean off the caffeine before surgery.
