migraine treatment in warms medication and more of lifestyle modifications.
combinations like migranil are very effective in treating migraine. She should avoid fast foods and processed foods. She should may a habit having one fruit in a day.
she should take adequate rest and practise meditation and yoga.
I advise you to visit your neurologist and get her evaluated.

Hi,
Migraine is an episodic headache to start with, but it can become continous after some years if not properly treated. Also, there is possibility of combination headaches (migraine and tension headaches), which give the impression of a continuos headache. Consult a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation as there are many medicines available nowadays to prevent migraine headaches. Lifestyle modifications like regular eating and sleep habits, avoiding caffeine/chocolates etc and minimising stress are also important part of treatment.
