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.

Even though Tylenol 3 is better than regular Tylenol, it still can't keep up with a tooth ache. For a tooth ache you need Vicoden or something equivalent. Call your dentist & see if he will call in a prescription for you. I don't think anything will help as far as over the counter pain medication. If you can pin point the exact tooth, you might try some of the numbing medications the drug stores sell.\nGood luck

Source Naturals brand migraine blocker works pretty well for me.  I also recommend going to an acupuncturist.  Some insurance companies will cover the costs, too.  Good luck, I get them too so I know how you feel...

Working in a hospital, i had a patient with a small spinal fluid leak, nothing too serious, but it was causing him terrible migraines.  So his doc admitted him to the hospital and we pumped his veins full of straight caffeine.  Headache went right away!  Im sure if your doc wrote u a prescription for some sort of caffeine pill, it would be for a headache, migraine, something along those lines.

Excedrin Migrane works wonders for me. I take it at the first sign of a migrane and that takes care of it.

Excedrin (otherwise called Acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine)\n\n"Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and a fever reducer.\n\nAspirin is in a class of drugs called salicylates. It works by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation.\n\nCaffeine is used in this product to increase the pain relieving effects of acetaminophen and aspirin.\n\nTogether, acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine are used to treat pain from conditions such as headache (including migraine), muscle aches, menstrual cramps, arthritis, backache, toothaches, colds and sinus infections.\n\nAcetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide."\n\nThe quote above is from the link listed.

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.

tylenol is the best medicine for everybody... \ntake nothing else... My doctor always tells me to take tylenol.

sounds wierd, but coca cola may help right now, the sugars and the caffeine do something to help relieve the pressure,( Tylenol brand "headache medicine" is simply caffeine and tylenol!)  also a hot foot bath, and cool ice pack on your forehead/neck..the hot water is supposed to pull the blood to the feet and release pressure in the head...Gravol helps to relax and ease the nausea as well...I know these sound crazy but...If it is a migraine, and not a tension headache (similar horrible symptoms) a doctor can help with a nasal spray..or if needed go to emergency and they'll give you demoral (yikes!)

Headaches are caused from constant annoyances, allergies, sickness, and loud noises. Those are just few of the many reasons. Usually when I have a headache I take a nap or just lay down in the quiet. Advil works great for headaches.

Avoid wine, cheese and chocolate.\n\ntry Excedrin\n\nImitrex is a great drug to stop pain but you need a prescription.\n\nTo stop having migraines, ask your doctor about Topomax or Depakote.

Aleve works good for my leg pain but i bet doans pills would be better for you.  I use extra strenght for back pain which i don't get that often anymore.  take two pills to start and another half an hour later.  by then even if you have pain you don't care.......

Taking 800 mg of Ibuprofen is going to help you more than anything else.  It's prescription strength.  Also it has an anti-inflammatory in it so it's going to work better than Tylenol or aspirin.

I have no idea on that med but I see a neurologist and I take Imitrex injections and that works great for me I'm assuming you have already tried that but I also take Topamax daily to prevent them. The meds were originally for people with Epilepsy but have recently been patented for Migraine prevention and work well for me. Sorry I can't help more but I wouldn't try anything without consulting your doctor. Especially not something in a magazine or something because it may help his headaches and then cause other problems in the future.

Lots of migraines are caused by irregular blood flow to the brain, caused by a variety of things. Excedrin migraine can help because it's 3 ingredients all do something to correct the problem: Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor and stimulant, Aspirin is a blood thinner and pain reliever, Tylenol is a pain reliever. \n\nA cup of coffee does the same thing as caffeine. A nice hot bath can help dilate blood vessels and increase relaxation and the steam does good things, too. Similarly a nice shoulder/neck massage can help relax muscles and blood vessels and provide some quick relief. Be sure to rub the base of the skull and around the temples.\n\nIf the above isn't working, you should try to avoid triggers. Some people have food allergies that can cause migraines. Some are triggered by inability to regulate body temperature (you've been exercising, and now it's time to cool off, but your body doesn't slow down like it's supposed to and you get a migraine). Some are triggered by bright or flashing lights. Some things you might avoid include chocolate, caffeine, and food dyes (red 40 and yellow 5). \n\nYour wife would do well to talk to a doctor (neurologist if possible, GP in a pinch). There are several prescription drugs for quick relief after a migraine starts, ask about Imitrex and Zomig. Both are available in pill, injection, and nasal sprays and start to work in less than 5 minutes (except for the pills, which takes about 40).\n\nHope that helps and good luck,\nOdd

I get headaches all the time. I try not to take my prescription drug if i can avoid it. I don't know how old you are so I don't want to promote drinking coffee but what I do is drink a small cup of regular coffee with cream and a couple sugars eat a small meal and take three ibuprofen. Slow deep breathing exercises help too. It helps relax your neck muscles, face and jaw. The caffeine in the coffee helps the blood vessels in your head open up if they are constricted. It works for me because i don't drink anything with caffeine in it. But if you do drink a lot of caffeine it can cause a headache. If you can keep a headache diary it can help you to distinguish from what types you are getting and what kinds of treatments can help. If i have a headache on the right side of my head I know it isn't a migraine. Sometimes ice works sometimes a heat pack on the back of my neck works. If i sleep too little, or skip a meal i will get a headache. Once you start to monitor you headaches you can possibly avoid getting them all together and when you do get one you will eventually know which treatment work for each one. Try some of the things i do and see if they help.
