Answer 2

Tell you what you should do, besides medication which many of the answer have proposed that will do harm to your body, take this traditional way of killing headache. Have a good cup of rich black coffee without milk and sugar, than go out and have a good breather, 10 mins time you'll be fine.
Trust me it works for many, though each individual varies in the intake of coffee absorption. Try it.
All the best to you.

Answer 3

Take a painkiller! But if you are seriously averse to using drugs for some reason, coffee, tea (non-herbal) or any other caffeine containing substance will also help, since caffeine consticts the blood vessels in your head that are pressing on your nerves and giving you the headache

Answer 4

Orgasms stop migraines very quickly, if you catch it at the start of one. Those "Salonpas" are good if put on the forehead. Also, massage, hot or cold rags on the neck, lying on the bed with your head hanging upside down over the side, taking a nap, and visualizing the headache one color & then mentally changing it to another color until the headache disappears!!

Answer 5

well besides the obvious taking a pain killer at the first sign of a headache, you can also try placing a cold pack on the back of your neck. It usually works for me.
