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 available at

I do get migraines and Tylenol doesn't work but some times these things work. Get rid of any music or noise that is loud. If it is really bright dim the lights.
Now think of your headache and taking deep breaths use your hand to gather the pain of your headache and throw it to the ground to ground it do this a few times it should lessen the headache. I know it sounds silly but it really works its a form of yoga. Also reading or watching something funny makes you happy and can get rid of a headache too. good luck.

I would wait for the doctors advice on this matter as headaches can be caused by so many factors and doctors know best. Try to think calm happy thoughts, drink some camomile tea or lemon balm tea maybe. Try not to worry. Best wishes.....

when i get extremely bad headaches i get a damp cloth and lay it over my face while i lay down in a dark room.
light tends to make them worse.
that and any kind of strong ibuprofen works best for me
