Explanation

Water-borne diseases are illnesses caused by drinking dirty water containing harmful germs. These diseases spread when contaminated water enters your body.

Headache is a symptom, not a disease. It can happen for many reasons like stress or dehydration, but it is not caused by drinking contaminated water.
