I think you need to figure why the headache, e.g., sick, injury, stress. I find the following helps besides OTC or prescription meds.
Ice on the back of the neck and base of the skull for 30 minutes. Take a TUMS before to settle stomach for any transitional pain like nausea. Go into a very quiet, dark room and lay on your back so the ice pack stays in place. Keep your eyes closed.
Take your index finger and thumb and pinch the webbing of the opposite hand for three minutes. If you can do both hands at the same time.

A stiff whiskey 'n' Coke.
Works every time. :o)
And many times stress headaches are caused by tension in the neck muscles, so you could try a neck/shoulder massage or self-massage. I use a tennis ball - rub it over the scalp and press it into the neck muscles. Even lie on it, if you like, underneath that big trapezius muscle. It hurts at first, but is very good after.

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

If you have access to an oxygen machine, DO IT!! I used to get cluster headaches. I'd wake up in the middle of the nite and my head was about to explode. I started to use my late fathers machine, no headache and i was back sleeping within 15 minutes.
