mal vs mauvais when ill
This question relates to:French lesson "Bien, mal, mieux, moins, peu (Irregular French Adverbs)"

Bonjour Katryn,
In French, to express "one's headache hurts", you will use "avoir mal à la tête" - NEVER "avoir mauvais à la tête".
See the lesson link below:
Avoir mal (à) = To be in pain, to hurt somewhere (French Expressions with avoir)
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
