What do you do when you are experiencing severe headaches?

I take a Soma tablet and go to sleep until the headache is gone. My doctor prescribed them for migraines.

I think taking a pill will be the best solution in such a situation.

Dehydration is sometimes the cause You are doing the right thing but adding salt is not what I would do.

I just sleep to relieve from having a headache.

@Butterfingers I have never suffered from a migraine and have regular headaches. I take something we have here in Israel which is like an aspirin and eventually it goes away.

I have the medicine from my doctor and it worked

I have had migraines (different from regular headaches) since I was eight, and I was fourteen when over the counter medication stopped working. Now, I take prescription medication because otherwise I’ll throw up, possibly pass out, or my vision will go black if I don’t treat it. Sometimes dehydration can cause headaches, and if they are, it’s a good idea to grab a Gatorade to restore your electrolytes. That’s not why I get them, but it’s important to stay hydrated.

I rather go to the doctor. You drink that when you have sore throat, gargle it twice a day i think.

I am taking a pill and I stay in my bed with eyes closed.

Drinking water might help if you have headache due to dehydration and exhaustion..if you know the reason behind it, it would be better to cure it. I generally get it after long hours on screen and a walk in fresh air helps. Salt water will help if it's due to low BP.
