How To Get Rid Of Migraine Headache ?
Question: How to get rid of Migraine headache It starts for me from left side, tooth and jaws to eyes then to left side head. Please advice.
Brief Answer:
A diagnosis is necessary first. Treatment explained below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have read your query.
First thing is to get a correct diagnosis for your symptoms and for this, you should see a Neurologist, and eventually, a brain MRI should be done.
If migraines confirmed then the treatment depends on the number of episodes in a month, if only two or three episodes, you can be treated with drugs that abort the migraine crisis right after you notice that the migraine headache started ( triptans, combinations of NSAIDs, etc.).
If more than three episodes in a month then preventive treatment with drugs such as propranolol, amitryptiline, topiramate, etc. may be necessary.
Discuss with your Neurologist these issues, since all these drugs need a prescription too.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can help you further.
