Expressing his deep concern, the following user mentioned that perhaps Shields needed to lie down and rest. But she should keep herself hydrated, and additionally, taking some ibuprofen and other painkillers may help lessen the discomfort. They also advised her to refer to a physician to ensure it’s not something more severe if the headache doesn’t disappear.
I'm sure all you want to do is lie down and rest, but it's important to stay hydrated and take ibuprofen or other pain relievers to reduce the pain. If the headache persists, it's best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying medical condition.

Claressa Shields successfully defended her Middleweight titles on June 3. Her opponent, Maricela Cornejo, a last-minute substitute for Hanna Gabriels, couldn’t withstand the two-time Olympic gold medalist’s onslaught. It remains anyone’s guess on who will be her next opponent. An ongoing beef with Shadasia Green has fueled rumors of an upcoming bout. But there are also talks of a rematch with Savannah Marshall as well. Given that the latter will also try mixed martial arts, there’s a possibility of the two meeting for an octagonal clash.
