Hi there, thanks for asking. For acute headaches you can take good medications to abort it. Your doctor can prescribe a good one for you. However, it is good to notice to this point. Sometimes headaches that are different from the usual ones, could be related to a different cause. They could be related to bleeding inside the brain if somebody has hypertension, or if somebody has had a head trauma, etc. Best
