Try the ice cream cure! Eat ice cream as fast as you can until it gives you brain freeze and when the brain freeze goes away after a couple seconds it will take the headache with it.... I hear it works for alot of ppl

First get off the computer, it hurts your eyes and give you a worse headache. Put a warm washcloth on your forehead, and try to fall asleep. Take a Tylenol or and Excedrine. I usually take a warm to hot bath when I have a headache. It usually helps. I hope you get well soon. Good Luck! If you have any questions, answer one of my questions.

My easiest and quickest help is to lie down with a cold, wet cloth over the eyes and forehead.  I swear it seems to draw the headache right out.  Soothing and it doesn't require introducing any chemicals to your system.\n\nI do agree if you are having persistent and difficult headaches, the first stop should be at your doctor's office.

Chiropractor.  Cold compress on the neck.  Percogesic - over the counter pain med -  massage of the neck and face - glob of vicks in boiling water - turn off and place face over the hot pan with a towel covering the whole apparatus - inhale as long as you can stand it - wear an eye cover - the steam will open up the sinuses and the vicks will start bringing out any congestion that is not moving creating the headache.  Been there - sorry for the pain!

Cut down on the caffeine and alcohol, drink more water, get regular sleep, eat a healthy balance of foods.  If absolutely necessary, do not exceed the recommended dose of an OTC pain killer such as Tylenol, asprin or Advil.\n\nFor migraines, what has helped me is taking magnesium supplements (a magnesium deficiency causes the same symptoms as those by a migraine) and seeing a chiropracter.

this may seem unorthodox but the simple cure is to sit in a quiet place where you can quiet your mind. take slow deep breaths focusing only on the breath as you inhale and exhale. this is a simple method for quieting the mind as consequently releasing the stress which is usually responsible for the headache. Try it, you'll be surprised at the results!

Ask a phamacist.  There are pain-relieving products made for this purpose.   Orajel  or Anbesol might help you.   Or take an aspirin or tylenol (whatever you would take for a headache)  That will help also.

get a towel and run it under cold water, after about 20-30 seconds fold it in half and place it over your forehead, that should ease some of the headache, also take some Tylenol or ibuprofen, theres nothing that can help the vomitting to much, if your throwing up its usually because your body is trying to purge your stomache of something that doesn't belong there

Well a headache can only be caused by so many things. The first guess would be water. If you're dehydrated, that can cause headaches. Ironically caffeine can be a surefire headache relief, but dehydrates the body. Funny isn't it? Just check the back of a bottle of excedrin and find mr. caffeine included.\n\nSo yeah, drink a ton of water, wait a little bit, if that fails, then have a cup of coffee or something and continue drinking water to keep hydrated.

I've found that lying down with a cold, damp cloth on my forehead helps. Or you could try doing something relaxing like listening to your favorite music or having someone massage your temples. Sometimes, the same things that can trigger a migraine can also help ease the pain (chocolate, caffeine,etc).

I think what you should do is fill your kitchen sink up with water. Now put your head in the sink three times,and only pull your head out twice. This will cure your headache

i get rid of all my headaches by going into a dark room, turning on some white noise, like a fan and going to sleep.  Most headaches are caused by to much blood flowing through the blood vessels of your brain, causing the ache, if you hold your temples or where its aching and put slight pressure on the area that gives temporary relief, but i'd also try the cold compresses while your going to sleep.

Migraine: Natural Treatment \nI've collected a few suggestions that are reported to be helpful for migraines:\n\nCayenne Pepper:\n\nTaking cayenne inside the nose helps to open up the blood vessels. This enables the blood to get nutrients to all parts of the brain. Warning - this can burn a bit, so keep the grains of cayenne down to as few as possible.\n\nTo stop a migraine follow these simple steps:\n\nOpen the capsule and dip the flat end of a dry toothpick into the cayenne to pick up 3-4 grains. \nBlock one nostril and gently put cayenne up the other nostril. \nSniff deeply 3-4 times until you feel the flecks of pepper in your throat. (If you don't feel this, do it again). \nOnce you feel the warmth in your throat, you headache should be gone in minutes \nOther suggestions:\n\nTaking 500 mg of magnesium per day and increasing your water intake to 8-10 glasses per day can be helpful. One person reported that her migraines were still coming at the time they usually did (during her cycle), but were much less intense and went away faster.\n\nAnother person resolved her migraine problem by eliminating ALL animal fat the week before menstruation (skim milk, non-fat yogurt ok), and adding evening primrose oil to her diet.\n\nIf you feel that you need migraine meds, keep in mind that a number of migraine meds are considered compatible with breastfeeding, including Sumatriptan (Imitrex).\n\nHere are a couple of outside links:\n\nNatural Migraine Treatment FAQ. "This Natural Migraine Treatment FAQ, posted to alt.support.headaches.migraine, attempts to summarize all non-medical treatments that help prevent or cure migraine headaches. Most treatments mentioned here have worked for many people, and usually have a theoretical basis as well. This FAQ doesn't discuss drugs."\n\nHow to Prevent Primary Headaches/Migraines by Manipulating Caffeine Intake.
