I've had a major headache for about three days now. I take pain meds, but they don't help much. It is so bad at times, it makes me sick...I guess it's on the verge of being a migraine. Does anyone know of any ways to deal with this and make it go away?

I have thought a lot of times...how i get headaches. I have tried to work on the reasons. But when you get headaches you really cant do anything. If iam at home, i have tried to take a nap. But if iam at work i wash my face, close my eyes and relax for sometime.

Hello edward...that seems to be what a lot of people do. It did help for a bit yesterday, but today it's back. Parasites, rahulx? Not sure what you mean.

Hi my friend, Oh my you are sick about theree days with this headache. This sound like you got a cerebral concussion. It happens when you hit your head very hard. I hope all be well with you. If medic pills do not help then you need to use home methods. Drink much water, 100% clear vodka only 100g everyday. And you need to make break from your day jobs you need to relax also you need good sleep. Every morning also make one cup green tea drink It and then eat one spoon honey this would help to you. Take care, Have a nice day!

I think you do need to see a doctor. Could be much more wrong. Three days is a long time to have a major headache.

If I had a headake that last for three days, I would go visit the doctor. Because I don't usually have headaches. When I have a headache (it happens very rarely to me), I go for a walk, take some fresh air and try to make the bad thoughts go away. It usually works for me, but, as I said, it doesn't happen too often...

You're right, and if it continues, I will see the doctor. I can't go for a walk,,,bad back.

the best way to get rid of headache is just dnt think too much about a particular topic. always think positive and sleep at least 8 hours a day and eat proper diet drink water alot and when you got headache again please consult to a doctor because i heard about parasite which leave in our body every person have parasite in own body when they go in ur brain you got headache some will die with medicine and some never i saw that in discovery no buddy i mean no buddy in this world who dnt have parasite in the own body

Thanks, rahulx...I have heard that before about parasites. Ok...I will try to think positive thoughts, and maybe go to bed a little earlier than usual

I think the best things to do to get rid of your headache are rest, relax, have some water to drink and have some fresh air. A headache can be stress related so therefore relaxing should help like you could lay down. I had a headache at work and at lunch time I rested on some mats in the school library. Another time I laid in the sun for half an hour on the land next to the school field. Good luck.

Thank you very much for responding. Yes, it may very well be stress related. I did get some air, didn't seem to help much. I guess I will try just laying down and relaxing for a while.
