Oh

Oh, thought Max, has any hedgehog ever had a more horrible headache? The last bang I got made me talk a bit funny and I expect this one's made things even worse. I'd better try saying something.'oh,' said Max, 'has any hedgehog ever had a more horrible headache?' max considered this. It sounded fine. Suddenly he felt fine.
I have read the above in "The hodgeheg" by Dick king-smith.
Please explain the use of both "oh" in the above.

It's the same "oh" as in "Oh, no". " It seems awkwardly placed to me here. "Used to express strong emotion, such as surprise, fear, anger, or pain: Oh—can't you stop making so much noise?

It's the same "oh" as in "Oh, no". It's not the "oh" in "Oh, now I see." It seems awkwardly placed to me here.

"Used to express strong emotion, such as surprise, fear, anger, or pain: Oh—can't you stop making so much noise?"
