What do you do for a headache?

A cup of coffee is a good substitute for me for Tylenol. But if you're getting frequent migraines, your best bet is a prescription from your doctor.

how to get rid of your headache once in for all is to actually treat it is as a migraine. Just before the Aura of headache, towel your head with warm towel and then a cold towel and then warm. What is actually happening in a headache is the blood vessels are not working in tune, constriction are not in rhythm, so alternating hot and cold towel will remedy this rhythm. Cold towel with constrict and hot water will promote circulation, i guarantee you that headache to stop. There is also the Sunrise and Sunset headache, if you are experiencing this type of headache, you need to see your eyes checked, you may be required to wear eye glasses

Hi 02b,

The headache was happened due to many more reasons
most probably lack of sleep, so better to have the good sleep
and also feel the free and make the relax, you should feels the
good things for the headache. If the headache is too severe then better
to take the Advil 2 tablets in a time after the meals, it would cure
the headache immediately. So try to have the good sleep for some times
along with this medicines of Advil both would makes you more comfortable
and free from the headache.

Have a nice day,.

I read that a headache is the blood vessels in your brain are inflamed which could be from blood pressure, aspirin and tylenol are both for reducing inflammation and blood thinners which is why they give aspirin to heart attack victims. If you have frequent headache's you should have your blood pressure checked. Sleep is good, but stay away from things that can rase your blood pressure such as caffeine like coffee tea and chocolate. Glad you feel better.

Usally I do not take any medicines for headaches. Only if it goes beyond my level of tolerance, I take Tylenol. Sometimes I suffer with headache because of lack of fluids in my body. So I always try to drink lots of water when I get headache.

It depends on the origin of the headaches. treatment for them can be different. Taking analgesic is just treating the symptoms, sometimes it work, sometimes it doesn't. Knowing the cause, you can relieve the origin. e.g. if your headache came from high blood pressure, relaxation and treatment that reduce the blood pressure.
Migrane headaches are different, fever sometimes can cause headaches, brain tumors, jaw abnormality...etc

I don't get many headaches but if I do have one, I find a great cure is to lie on the floor and listen to some quiet Mozart in a darkened room. If I feel very lazy I'll take a couple of Cocodamol tablets. If I was getting headaches repeatedly, I'd go and have my eyes tested and if necessary have new glasses; but if it wasn't my eyes that was causing continual headaches, I'd visit the doctor to see if there was anything else wrong. Allergies to certain foods can cause headaches too, as can stress.

Get my neck adjusted by a chiropractor.
Squeeze and pinch the webbing between your thumb and index finger.
Massage your head.
Take a hot bath or shower.
Apply cold ice to your neck.

Sit in total dark with no sound.

Stand up straight lower your head an pull your chin inward, that should pop your neck, don't have to use your hands.

if it's a normal headache then i just take extra power paracetamol,but if i know it's going to turn into a migraine type headache,then i take the same pills,lay on the couch and shut my eyes,and try not to speak or move,coz that makes it worse,i usually lay there for an hour or so til it eases

Most of the time when I get a headache, it is usually stress related. I try to get my in as relaxedd a mood as possible. I lie down on the couch, put my feet up and take a few aspirin. Rubbing my temples sometimes will ease some of the tension too. I'm not sure how to tell if a headache is a migraine or not. Every headache feels like your mind is blowing apart.
