Help answer this question below.
Drink a lot of water and try to have a nap or be in a quiet place if possible. I also put on my glasses (which I never usually wear). I don't like to take painkillers.
Usually just continue with whatever it is I'm doing, waiting for it to find its end.
i try as much as possible not to take painkillers instead i get mad, irritated n when thats done with i try n distract meself..here n there.
I get one kind of headache and it's from eyestrain and I can feel it coming on usually when I am sound asleep. I have to get up and take about 3 Advil and just wait until they kick in. If I wait too long, I'm in for an hour of real agony.
Go on with the day,if they get worse,I take aspirin or Tylenol,if they progress to a migraine I sleep.
I just found Excedrine migrane with caffeine to work well for otc. it's asprin, acetametaphine, and caffeine. if it's a headache with stomach ache I've used Alka Seltzer, that works too.
If it's a bad tension headache, I rub my temples or the back of my neck with vapor rub. Caffeine and 3 acetaminophens for the headache that won't go away.
