When you have a headache so bad?

Question

It makes you sick how do you get rid of it? Already took three Advil and it won't touch it.

Answer 1

That sucks -- sorry you're having such a rough time of it.

Try using a cold pack on whichever part of your head hurts the most. Usually for me my headaches start out as neck pain and shoots up the sides of my head. if I use an ice pack on my neck it improves.

Also, drink plenty of water, some headaches are induced by slight dehydration.

Lastly, after you're through this, try to figure out why you got it. Were you out drinking?? ;-) If not, prevention is the key and that takes getting to the cause of the headaches.

Good luck!

Answer 2

What I take when I get a bad headache is Excedrin Migraine. So far it is the only stuff that will get rid of a bad headache for me. Everything else just doesn't seem strong enough to take it away. hope that helps

Answer 3

There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, sweet fruits, milk, rice and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

Extra medication is not the answer. First of all, you need to find the cause of the headache. Once your doctor diagnoses the cause, he can prescribe a way to get relief.
