Brief Answer:
She would require preventive medicines also.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have noted the symptoms of your wife and agree that the most likely cause of her headaches is migraine. She needs preventive medicines on a regular basis to reduce the frequency and severity of headaches in future. Options include propranolol or topiramate tablets. For relief of headache, rizatriptan or naproxen tablets can be taken, as and when necessary.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Thanks.
