Hello dear
I understand your concern
Following advises will help you for migraine:
Tablet containing opioids like tramadol and glucocorticoids like prednisolone
You can put ice pack on head.
Stay hydrated
eat healthy diet.

Life style changes should be done as below
1. Enough sleep
2. Muscle relaxation exercise
3. Rest and relaxation
4. Keep headache diary: Identify trigger factor and which treatment is effective
Alternate therapy:
Acupuncture therapy
Massage and music therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Vitamin B-2 and CO Q can be useful in relieving pain.

Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
