If you don't want to use any aspirin or tylenol, then here is a thing you can do. Grab the fleshy part between your thumb and forefinger and squeeze very hard. This is an acupressure point and can help alleviate a headache. It actually works better if you have someone else do this with both your hands.
Another point is right at the back of your head just above the neck. If you find a spot that is tender, press it for ten to twenty seconds. Two other spots are in the temple near to the corners of your eyes. Again, the correct spots will feel tender, but after you press for ten to twenty seconds, the pain will be relieved.
These work for everything except a sinus headache. For that you need to have something to release sinus pressure such as a nasal spray, antihistimine, or decongestant.
Good luck with this. If your headache persists for a long time, see a doctor. It can be the sign of a more serious illness.

ibuprofen works great for a headache. take 200-400mg every 6 hours but no more than 1200mg in 24 hours..
you can also take excedrin tension headache-these have caffeine in them and work great too.take 2 tablets every 6 hours. no more than 8 tablets in 24 hours.
drink something w/caffeine in it. caffeine increases the heartrate and raises blood pressure which will cause more bloodflow to the brain and will help ease the headache.
you can also try putting a cold washcloth on your forehead-the cold causes blood vessels in the brain to open up more, increasing bloodflow to the brain which can help ease the headache....

A doctor once told me to drink some coffee. If you see, on the ingredients of all "headache" pills there is caffeine. If your headache persist for long periods of time go and see a doctor.

A small pinch of salt an a glass or two of water. It works even when pills fail, unless there is a health problem causing it.

I swear by Excedrin. They made this specifically for migraines.
