What do you do when you have severe headache?

when i dont have work, i just ignore it and just take a sleep. but when i have work, or have important things to do, i can't control myself from taking painkillers. I know it's not good for our health but i tried so many ways to fight the pain and as of now the best remedy for me is taking medicine...

Severe headache ? You will know if you are too tired. I will just get a good sleep to see if that helps. Again staying clam and having a good sleep depends on how, where, and with who you live. ;) I would rather take advice of a doctor find out the cause if it happens frequently. I have seen quite a number of people who get addicted to pills. As days go by they have headache cause they want pills.

Well, before I hardly take any medicine...I did just as you said, stay calm and try to get some sleep at least relax. But the last couple of years...I just take an aspirin but only when it is very necessary otherwise, I'll just take a break for capuccino or warm soup (did help sometimes).

If i get severe headache i will first try out a hot tea and try to relax for some time.But if it continues i will apply some amrutanjan or any liquid balm to my forehead and sleep.When i wake up after some time i can feel the relief.

I am totally against taking tablets for head-ache. I rarely have this problem,as I am a good sleeper. Headache is just due to over-tiredness, incomplete sleep,digestive problems etc. You can analyze the cause and likewise the solution of headache.Those who take tablets,soon develop the habit of taking it just for a little headache, and this gives rise to many problems.

If it is still tolerable and bearable I'll just take a rest, sleep and I don't want to be disturbed. If it keeps on coming i take paracetamol.

i usually have this, maybe becuase of my tired eyes... i do try to sleep but if i can't i take paracetamol or mefemanic acid to ease the pain... i also think i have migraines... =)

when i have a headache, i dont mind it but when its severe, i drink some medicine..
