Advil cold and sinus works good but it doesn't last as long as it claims it will. suddifed works good too. day-quill gives me medicine head though.

No, cold medicine does not reduce the effectiveness of your birth control pills. If you are still insecure speak with your providing doctor and/or the pharmacist to be sure. Also, using condoms with your pills would always help to "back-up" your birth control and give you additional peace of mind. Lastly, your birth conrtol pills should have come with a manufacturer's leaflet--if you read through it ( pretty dry :( ) it will tell you what medicines you can not take or you should avoid while taking the pills. Remember--cold medicine is an over the counter medication also.

the things that work best for me are lots of water, midol, and aleve!!!!  If any of those things don't help then i don't think anything over the counter will!!!!\n\nHave a great camping trip!!!!

Ginko Biloba or Clarocet CS. You can get both from the pharmacy without prescription.

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.

I wouldn't put cold on back of neck, cold compresses are to constract. I suggest to buy a bag that is either sand or rice you put in microwave for no longer then 1- 2 min. place on back of neck(making sure not touch skin)This will open the blood flow back to brain. Also, a hot shower on back of neck. A good massage either by yourself or someone else. Always massage sides and middle moving (upward) still to allow more blood flow back to brain. Yes, caffien, smoking will not do. Never fall asleep using the bag, it could cause burns. Find out the reason for tension, try to elimate as much as posible of stress. Sleep well, eat right,and if you take pills, try off the counter first. I wouldn't suggest pain pills as they can be additive, and with more side affects. When massaging also massage your temples, where sinuses are and up beside nose. Massage forehead and whole head as well. Cold can also be helpfull with a wet cold cloth over eyes, or forehead. Always check with Doctor to find out exactly what he may think is causing problem. He might have catscan to see if anything else could be elimanated. Hope I've helped.

Excedrin.  No one in my family has had a headache that wasn't feeling better within 10 minutes of taking Excedrin (aspirin)\n\nTylenol, Aleve..........none of that works for me.

No-doze (caffeine pills), anything that says decongestant (which includes sudafed), methylxanthines in chocolate, nicotine gum. Be cautious and avoid energy pills - there any many variations of the now-illegal ephedra which is seriously dangerous.\n\nGood luck!

My sister uses Imitrex, and swears by it.  It used to be administered only by injection, but now they've made it available in capsule form.  See http://www.Imitrex.com\nAlso, I used to try an ice pack on my head.  It helps minimally, but at least it did something.\nHope this helps you.

Actually - it's good to alternate between heat and cold.\nAnd as far as taking an anti-inflammatory, Tylenol is not one - that would be Advil (Ibuprofen)

Talk to your doctor about Imitrex.  It's available in pills, nasal spray, or self-injector.\n\nCodeine will also help with the symptoms. \n\nIf you don't want to go the prescription route, try using ginger root.  It's a natural anti-nausea agent, and will help stop a migraine in its tracks.  It wont make one BETTER, but it can stop it from getting worse.\n\nThe fastest way to administer is to buy ginger root powder (available in grocery stores in the spices aisle), and add a half-teaspoonful to your favorite tea.  If it's taste is a little too much for you, you can buy it in pill form at most vitamin/supplement stores.  (Also great for helping prevent motionsickness!)\n\nCaffeine sometimes works.\n\nIf the symptoms are particularly bad, I like a cold compress in a pitch dark room in an attempt to sleep it off.  If you room isn't dark enough, tape tinfoil on the inside of the windows to block light.  If you don't have a cold compress, point a small fan at your face.\n\nThe best thing you can do about migraines is learn what your triggers are.  Sometimes it's food (or food combinations), too much light, too much heat, too much exertion, etc.  But involving a doctor is always a good idea.\n\nIf you get a migraine, try to write down everything you did prior to it, hopefully you will be able to narrow down some of your triggers over time.\n\nBest of luck to ya.

First, I assume you meant "fignt a cold."  I've found Zicam products to be excellent in warding off a cold.  There are several kinds, but the Zicam brand is all good.  There's another product called "Airborne" that's great.  Both of the above are homeopathic, non-toxic, and no side effects.  Can't beat that.

If regular cold medicine hasn't worked, they have a product called "Little Noses".  It has a small amount of medication that will actually shrink the tissues in the nasal cavity.  My pediatrician recommended it to me for my infant daughter, and said it was perfectly safe to use when you follow the directions.

I try to lay down with a cold compress on the forehead, keeping my eyes closed and noises to a minimum.  Imitrex always works for me....but taken as a last resort.  I have heard that Relpax is good too.  Feel better!
