Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your question and think that you have a migraine. A migraine is a recurrent type of headache. It occurs due to the dilatation of blood vessels in the head. Another characteristic of Migraines is that it starts because of a trigger factor.

There are several types of trigger factors. Here are a few examples:
Cold
Loud noises
Certain foods
Fever and so on

The first step and the best step to treat a migraine is to avoid the trigger factor. Once you already have a migraine, you can try the following:
- Drink lots of water
- Get good amount of sleep and at least 8 hours of sleep at a time
- Avoid stress
- Take 2 tablets of Paracetamol 500mg 12 hours apart when you get a headache
- Inhale steam to help you recover better

Doing these things except taking the tablet will also help prevent future attacks. Follow up after 1week.

Wishing you a quick recovery.
