There is a pain on the right side of the head

Many people often say that they have headaches, and the headaches do not only occur on one side. Some may only have intermittent pain on the right side of the head. This intermittent pain may be caused by various complications such as cranial brain lesions, as well as nerve organs throughout the body, neural compression, etc., which require treatment after the cause is found.
