Answer 1

For migraines I put 2 regular asprins under my tounge and let them slowly dissolve...yes-it tastes awful- and then I drink a hot cup of strong coffee. I then lay down with a ice bag at the base of my neck in a dark room. Usually within an hour or two the pain is gone.

Hope you feel better soon...headaches are so miserable. Especially long last ones.:(

Answer 2

Definitely get a doctor to check this out.  CT's don't always show everything: I recently had a blood clot in my superior sagittal sinus (vein that drains blood from the brain), and it took two CT's and an MRI before they figured out what it was.

Good luck...and get this looked at ASAP!

Answer 3

Try BC Powder with a pepsi! You can get it anywhere and WOW Does it work!!!

Answer 4

Your going to probably have to go back and talk to the doctor, if it keeps hurting you may insist on another ct scan. However only the doctor is going to be able to subscribe  a more powerful med. I'd reccomend drinking water and staying well hydrated and make sure you get electrolytes in your food and some of your drinks, but I don't know what's causing the headache.

A lack of water will give a bad headache. Whenever I have a headache, if I don't stay hydrated, I will likely have that headache all the next day. But I've never allowed myself not to hydrate when I've had a headache, and tylenol works for me every time, so I can't say I can help a lot, but I do know only a doctor can prescribe more powerful meds.

Answer 5

go see your MD  a headache should not last that long and a migraine needs medical attention to rule out any other symptoms

Answer 6

You probably are avoiding this, but you should consult a doctor. That's one of the best options.

Answer 7

motrin apparently works well for h/aches, the md i work with suggests it. Also there is a theory that if you take a bath in warm water the heat will reduce your inter cranial pressure. It works somtimes for me.
