Regarding"今天 Elsa 有 頭 痛. Today Elsa has a headache. "

We used to put the subject (usually people) in front of any other things in order to indicate who are we talking about.

Moreover, we usually use "頭 痛" as a verb, even "stomachache" which is "肚痛“ we use it as a verb .

However, when we are talking about the intensity, if you are "having a slight headache", we say "有少少頭痛“(少少means a bit of or slightly, which indicated the intensity).

Apart from this, "今天“is more common in Mandarin than in Cantonese, we use "今日" instead.

These irregular rules are quite tricky:-)))

So, the sentence becomes:

Elsa 今日 頭 痛
