Brief Answer:
Take precautions and treatment as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
The migraine headache is usually unilateral, throbbing, associated with nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound.
For the management of migraine you require some precautions.
Take timely breakfast and lunch. Avoid fasting, skipping meals.
Take adequate night's sleep.
Avoid excessive stress, excessive tea or coffee.
Daily headache requires migraine prophylaxis medications like propranolol, topiramate, divalproate, flunarizine or amitriptyline.
Get these medications prescribed by a neurologist.
Avoid taking regular pain killers as they will lead to medication overuse headache.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
Regards
Dr Deepti Verma
