Hello,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Care Magic. I read your query and I understand your concern and the anguish that you are having
It does seem that you have a headache. I am here to help you with some basic therapy which will help you along with the medication. Follow this as far as possible. Here are a few things you can try:
Inhale steam mixed with Eucalyptus oil to clear the nasal passages
Take a Paracetamol 500 when you feel you are about to get a headache
Drink lots of water
Sleep well and get at least 8 hours of sleep a day
Eat meals at regular times
A migraine also occurs due to a trigger factor in some cases. You can manage this by identifying the triggers and then avoid them.
Follow up after 5 days. All the best.
Hope this helps you. Feel free to clarify further.
