What is a "throb"?

Throb refers to a steady or beating sensation of pain or discomfort, often feeling like a pulse. It can happen in different parts of the body, such as the head, temples, or muscles, and is usually associated with conditions like headaches, migraines, or muscle strains. The pain of a throb tends to go up and down, like a dull, steady ache with occasional bursts of discomfort. Treatment for its pain depends on its cause and may include rest, hydration, pain relievers, or specific therapies to address the underlying issue.
