[quote=Anonymous]Many viruses start with s headache and then have other symptoms such as vomiting -- very common to get a headache before a stomach virus.  The eye pain could have been part of the headache.  I suffer from migraines and they also involve eye pain, headache, and vomiting.  I see a neurologist and am managing them.  Please keep a record (record the date and symptoms) in case this happens again - then you will have a migraine diary to discuss with your doctor.  I didn't start getting them until my late 40's.  Common triggers are dehydration, skipping meals, and interrupted or not enough sleep -- so keep an eye out for these things.  Tylenol does not do anything for a migrane -- and whatever you do, stay away from that Exedrin Migraine pills or something similar that is sold at CVS -- that will give you rebound headaches.  I take sumatriptan which makes the migraine go away within 1-2 hours which also prevents me from entering the vomiting stage BUT I don't know what medication a neurologist would prescribe for someone that young.
