Answer 2

Many headaches occur because of water retention so i would ask your parents to get you a b-complex an extra bottle of b-6. Vitamin B 6 is a natural diuretic which means it helps you to not retain water,but it's important to take B Complex to keep you body in balance of the B vitamins whenever taking extra of one of them. You will see B 6 in the complex too,but the extra one per day will help with the water.

Cranberry juice flushes the system out and is used for headaches. Use only 100% juice and not cocktail kind as it has added sugar and won't help.

Use hot wash cloths soaked in water as hot as you can stand without burning your self and saturate you face eyes and forehead with it over sink. Hot water relaxes muscles and can help a lot.

Also check your eyes because if you wear contacts or glasses and your prescription gets worse you strain your eyes without knowing and this can cause headaches especially if one eye gets worse because it puts extra strain on your brain!

You should stretch your shoulders and neck. Maybe your tense, and you should focus on trying to relax your muscles.

Advil is fine, and I bet you'll be happy you took it.

If you do take calcium below, don't forget to take a magnesium vitamin with it. People often forget to mention how important it is to take it w/calcium. Magnesium absorbs the Calcuim... Read up.

Answer 5

Are you drinking enough water?  

Can you get one of your friends to rub your neck and shoulders (gently)?

Answer 6

Try putting ice on your head and the back of your neck.

Answer 7

Do you also suffer with insomnia, achy bones, irritability and moodiness, digestive issues such as bloating and constipation?? If so these are all symptoms of calcium deficiency .......  if you don't like drinking milk try drinking some organic rice milk fortified with calcium or eat more leafy and green vegies (rich in calcium) and eat more fresh fruit (also rich in calcium)...........  try eating a carrott......  they are rich in calcium and a natural way to bust a headache.

Read the side of the advil package ......  i'm sure you are old enough to take them but i would much prefer you to resolve the headache naturally.

Have you been drinking enough water??  You could just be dehydrated........  If not, drink up luv... your body needs at least 2 - 3 litres of water daily.

- Eat a handful of Black Cherries/Black Raspberries, these contain salicylic acid {aspirin}.

- Drink 1/2 your bodyweight in ounces of filtered water per day. Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to every litre, to alkalise {very beneficial to your health}.

- Get someone to give you an Indian Head massage, use Almond Oil or Coconut Oil {great for dandruff}.

- Get some fresh air, sit in the garden for a while.

Hope this helps.
