When you have a headache, how do you cure it?

There are a few ways that I take care of it. One is I go lay down for a few hours and it seems to go away. If it is real bad, I take two Advil and in about twenty minutes it's gone. I hear that if you drink enough water you can prevent headaches. Also I heard that drinking too much coffee or smoking causes headaches.

I used to take in tablets or capsules for migraine since almost everyday i my head ached but I discovered that a mug of warm black tea helps. Nowadays, I seldom take in pills when I have a migraine attack. A cup of warm brisk Lipton tea does the wonder.

I hate having a headache. I usually lie down in the dark and close my eyes and rest and try to get rid of it. Sometimes I have to take some medicine to try to get rid of it and I don't like to take a lot of medications either. Sometimes if I eat something or drink something with caffeine in it I will usually feel better.

Oh gosh my life is a headache, on a daily basis. I wake up with one and go to bed with one. To date no one has been able to say why, so I live on Excedrin daily. I have a dull one right now because I had a really bad migraine yesterday in which I managed to get to calm down but now left with a nagging dull head pain. The only thing that helps me is Excedrin and an ice bag over my head and I basically carry on all day with it.

There are times that one needs to take medications in order to cure something. But then again, it is not advisable to take medications all the time. I think the best way to cure headache is to take put some menthol on it and rest (sleep). However, after all these first aid thingys, and your headache is still there, better take meds already especially if you have an important appointment to attend to. ^_^

i will smash my head by a hammer.so,will gone for ever.sorry,jokes apart.

I usually just sleep it off, if I can. However, if that isn't possible and it continues to worsen I will take aspirin...that is, after my husband convinces me to, as I hate taking anything for it! Happy mylotting!

There are a lot of factors that may cause headache. In my case, its usually stress. So when I have a headache, I relax for while, usually I sit down or perhaps lay down and close my eyes. Along with that, I drink water. But if I really need to do something that is quite important, then I would take a medication for quick relief.

It depends on the cause. But for minor headaches, I too find that lots of water can help relieve it so I'm thinking that it is linked to dehydration. Sometimes, overuse of my eyes can trigger it. Whenever it strikes, I take out a face towel, soak it in ice water, wring it till it's only damp and I put it on my forehead and covering my eyes. I do this until the pain goes away

Well if im at home and i get a headache i just sit down and rest my head, if its really bad ill close my eyes which sometimes does the trick, But even just going outside for some fresh air also helps a lot when i have a headache which is what i would do if the weather is good enough to do so.

Just try this and tell me, it should help. During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe. In about 5 minutes, your headache will go. Thanks for sharing God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘@Bhuwan@’. .

hi, when i have a headache, the first thing i should do is to think that i dont have headache,i mean psychologically way,and secondly i will drink a lot of water as i can.and if there is no effect,i will now drink medicine.so herbal or natural ways first.

I don't like taking medicines too, unless it's really serious. I usually drink lots of water like you do too when I have headaches. Some of them I don't even have to try, they just disappear =) Sometimes I take a nap and the nasty pain just goes away.

I'm sad to hear this bad news to you.headache is really boring!as for me,i often have a headache since 10 years before,i'd go to see doctor and take the X-ray,but can not find the reason.i skim amounts of books about medicine and learn that headache is a disease which complicated due to many many reason like stress,heredity,regularity of life.....,there's no useful ways to cure it!when it break out,i had to go to bed and have a rest,some time i can't endure,i had to take the medine.if someone have some best ways to cure it,i'd like to share with him

If you have a tendency of occasional headaches, you must visit a doctor because it must have a cause behind it and the doctor is the ideal person to find out the cause. Headache may be due to any refractive error for which you may need a glass, it may be due to sinusitis, it may be functional, it may be due to an empty stomach for a long time. So you should not waste any time and must visit your doctor without any delay.

I'm taking biogesic when I'm having a headache and i put ointment on my forehead then sleep.

Most of the time when I have headaches it's just cause I get really hungry or like when i watch movies in my car. But yeah I pretty much just sleep it off or eat haha.

Lots of water, turning off the tv/computer etc and just relaxing, maybe with a nice hot bath, a healthy snack and possibly a book. If that doesn't work, or if it's really bad, I'll have more water, and try taking just one tablet, if it's not better within an hour I'll take the other one. When it's really bad I find nothing really helps other than sleep/relaxing with the lights off.

headaches, toothaches there are all the same to me..... the only thing i did to cure it is to get a steel comb and try combing your scalp throughly until feels fine..... at a point you will hit with the tip of your steel comb the acupoints in top of your scalp and at a time instantly the ache will fade.... i do it when i suffer head ache, the same also for the tooth ache, it is also effective....

Natural way is to take rest or sleep or relax for some time.you can also apply iodex,amrutanjan for some relief immediately.consuming tea also gives good relief for headache.Meditation regularly will keep you alert without headaches
