Suggest Remedy For Headache
My 23 year old son has a very severe headache at the front of his head and temples, every 1-3minutes he has a wave of excruitiating pain, he also vomited about an hour ago. He has headache all day but not so bad but played football this evening and it got worse and has been very bad since about midnight.

Im sorry to hear that he has such symptoms but really he should not be playing football at this point. The differential for such sudden onset and severe headaches includes but is not limited to the following: migraine, meningitis, concussion or post concussion headache, trigeminal neuralgia. At this point I would recommend he go to the emergency department for evaluation to ensure he does not have a serious condition such as meningitis. I hope he feels better. if it turns out to not be something serious I can gladly provide you with some supplements which can help relieve headaches or prevent them down the line.
