If you had a headache, and only 1 ibuprofen?

Question

what would you do? Anyone available for a temple massage?!

Any suggestions people, my head is about to split open here.

Answer 1

I think you got one of them there sexual tension headaches girl!

You know what to do...

Answer 2

Try a warm bath, then go to bed and put a warm damp cloth over your forehead...that + the ibuprofen should help.

And yes, I'm on my way for that temple massage...I've got magic fingers so you'll be in tip top shape in no time.

Answer 3

I don't know, now.... My boyfriend has some prescription 800 milligram ibuprofen at home so it only takes one to get rid of the headache! It knocks me out for a few hours on top of that! I usually just take half unless I have a migrane.
Just take the one you have and drink lots of water. It'll go away, I promise!
Hope you feel better soon!

Answer 4

Take the pill.

Then get a paper or plastic bag. Hold the bag over your nose and mouth area. Breath into the bag - inhale and exhale for about 3 minutes. This might help to reduce the pain.

You can search those "medical" Internet places for more information on this technique.

Answer 5

if i had a headache with only 1 ibprofen i wouldnt take it cause they dont do a darn for my headache. try drinking some soda or something with caffeine in it. i also read and answer once that if you run your hands under warm water it loosens up the blood vessels or something like that and relieves your headache. maybe your getting dehydrated try drinking some water, maybe your hungry try eating something. almost all of my headaches are due to no caffeine so i use exederin or drink a soda if i have one.

Answer 6

It depends on why you have a headache. Try sitting in a cool, dark, quiet room with your eyes shut, thinking about happy things. Check the bottom of your purse or the back of your medicine cabinet for a stray painkiller.

Answer 7

Ask some one for 3 more, or go to the store and buy some, then lay down in a dark room with your eyes closed and drink a Gatorade.

Answer 8

take one and use the pressure point in your hand between your thumb and your index finger. it about the distance of the tip of your other thumb to to the first knuckle. Push it hard than pump it it release endorphins. which help fight the headache. Its tough to people who suffer from very bad migraines. Plus drink lots of water.

Answer 9

1 ibuprofen would be enough for me because the ones I take are 800 mg each. Well at least I used to take them....I don't anymore because doctors are finding out that they're causing kidney failure....

Answer 10

use a cold compress or wet a cloth with ice cold water and place over forehead. repeat more than five times and take tab. Check if hungry, need rest or under stress. Eat and rest before taking drug. Lastly drink plenty water it helps.

Answer 11

I only ever take one, give it time to work. Another thing I do is put pressure on my head in one place with one finger, if you get it in the right place it stops the pain (only while you are pressing but it's better than nothing!)
