Any Tips to Make a Headache Go Away Quicker?

Question

Just took 2 Advil, have any other tips?

Answer 1

Depending on where the headache is originating, put a coldpack on the back of your neck, or on your forehead or your face (if it's a sinus headache). Sometimes headaches are due to stress; if that's the case, try lying down and doing slow breathing to relax. A nice massage or yoga can also be helpful.

Answer 2

gather your hair in the back and twist until you can't take the pain. Wait thirty seconds and release. Since you just took the advil, also get some ice and apply to where it hurts. The ice feels aweful, but once you remove it will help. Do five minutes with ice on, then five off, until it goes away.

Sounds crazy but works.

When all else fails go to er and have them give you a shot of Demerol. Won't do anything for the headache, but will put you out like a light.

Answer 3

Anacin contains a combination of a pain reliever and caffeine. Caffeine has been known to help relieve headaches (although if you take it for prolonged periods of time, the withdrawal from caffeine may itself be a cause of headaches). Bayer also makes an aspirin/caffeine headache reliever.
If you don't have either, take an analgesic (like Advil) with some caffeine-containing product (e.g. cola soda). Keep in mind, caffeine can keep you awake so don't take just before bedtime.

Other things that may work are cold compresses to the forehead and massaging the head or neck.

I know it's nasty but the best thing I've ever found for a headache are Goodie powders or BC powders. They work insanely fast and once you figure out how to shoot em, it's easy. You can run down to the local convience store and pick up a two pack for under a buck most of the time.

First remove one of the wax paper doses. Now get a drink ready. By ready I mean opened and ready to gulp. Now open the dose up and pinch one end with your fingers and move the powder down to one end. Open your mouth and stick out your tongue, pour the poder onto your tongue. You aren't going to taste it. Then put your tongue back in yourt mouth and gulp down that drink. Done, you never tasted anything.

The other way to use them is to pour the poder under your tongue. That tastes nasty. You pour it in and leave it down there to absorb for about a minute or so.

If you do it and a couple of minutes later you're like really geared up it's because they have caffine in them.

Answer 5

Get the Advil Gel Caps next time they seem to be quicker

Answer 6

Open your left hand with your palm down. Take your right index finger and thumb and "pinch" the middle of the webbing between your left thumb and index finger. Try it a few times until you get it right. There is a nerve or pressure point there that will relieve your headache almost instantly.

Answer 7

Peppermint oil applied on pressure points, forhead, and on tip of nose where it can be inhaled, smelled.
Fresh ginger, sliced thin, packed in honey or sugar.
Not over sleeping. If migraine, avoid anything that increases swelling of veins..head, neck, for example ginger helps, but fresh pineaple can increase headache in some.
