Hi.

Thank you for writing to Health Care Magic.

Headaches or migraines are caused when there is dilation of the blood vessels in the head. This usually happens because of a trigger factor. Some trigger factors include -
Sunlight
Bright light
loud sounds
Any other irritant factor or anything under the sun!

There are many ways to treat migraines but here are a few things that can help -
Drink lots of water
Take warm showers
Use an ice pack over the head
Sleep more than 8 hours a day
Take an OTC painkiller
Use steam inhalation
Massage the head
Take a warm bath
Eat a balanced diet
Avoid too little or too much exercise

I hope this helps. Please reach out if you have any other questions.
