Hi,
Your treatment strategy depends on the frequency and severity of your headaches, the degree of disability your headaches cause, and your other medical conditions.
Pain relievers such as Aspirin or Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) may help relieve mild migraines.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), also may help relieve mild migraines in some people.
Drugs marketed specifically for migraines, such as the combination of acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine (Excedrin Migraine), also may ease moderate migraine pain.
Triptans effectively relieve the pain and other symptoms that are associated with migraines.
They are available in pill, nasal spray and injection form. Anti-nausea medications, opioids, and steroids may be used in addition to severe cases.
Also, you need to rest and relax and have good sleep. If there won't is an improvement it would be good to do an MRI scan and have a neurological exam.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
