In nutshell The symptoms you mentioned are fitting into migraine but needs additional symptoms and elaboration.
The treatment of migraine consists of two Types.
Symptomatic therapy or abortive therapy in acute attack:Triptans are drug of choice
just 5mg of
zolmitriptan is sufficient.
Besides antiemetic like
Prochlorperazine can be used.
Preventive therapy :
includes topiramate 50 mg BD or
valproic acid 500mg BD
Besides there is a list of medication.
I would suggest you to have his Xray
Paranasal sinuses, Fundoscopy to ruled out organic cause.
Then go for above treatment if investigations were normal.
Hope it helps best.
