not all of them work on all kind of headaches, but they work often quite good and often even better than pain killers.

Other Answers:
Caffeine always works for me.

Not even Excederin? That's all that works for me. They supposedly have an "under the tongue" medicine that is especially good. I haven't used it personally.

warm papertowel on the forhead should work.

There are those melt-in-your-mouth Excedrin headache pills. They work great.

Try drinking water. Dehydration can cause headaches especially if your running around alot, you may have just forgotten some liquids for too long.
Failing that go home sick lol good luck with the day

aspirin + coffee. if you look at soemthing like excederin, these are the two active ingredients.

I would leave sick. F*CK this noise.

CAFFINE IS MAY BE THE REASON FOR THE HEADACHES OR SOUNDS LIKE STRESS . CHILL OR TAKE SOME HOMPHATHIC TABLETS FOR YOUR BAD HEAD .

caffeine. a lot of people now of days get headaches due to their body not getting the amount of caffeine that it is used to.

why cant you take pills? excederine is amazing. i get killer headaches every day and take excederine. try a lot of caffeine. thats an ingredient in excederine. drink coffee or soda or eat chocolate.

acupuncture helped me. get a old chinese man if possible.

I have chronic sinus problems- so I know headaches. I take 4 extra strength excederine and they are the only thing that work for me. The usual doasge is 2, but my Dr says you can take up to 4. Only take 4 on occasion, not all the time. Make sure you eat something because regular aspirin can upset sensitive tummy's/

I dunno, but I've had a real bad headache on the left side of my head for the past five days! So, if you find something that works quick let me know! Maybe my brains going to explode!?

Wear those sunglasses your sportin' at work. Bright lights and computer screens give me a headache. Sunglasses solved the problem.

try putting a hot compress on ur head & try 2 taking deep breaths with ur eyes closed (use intervals of 8)

Motrin usually works, but many fellows find that two of 'em just does not cut it. You can take up to four of 'em - that's equal to 800 milligrams - safely, once. If that does not relieve the headache, you really do need to see a doctor; those headaches could be a sign that something serious is developing.something as serious as a stroke.
Yes, it could also be allergies you may not have been aware of, and yes, severe job-related stress can cause such pain, too. That means you probably should make major adjustments, because job-related stress can kill. Which would you prefer, a new job or a crippling stroke or even a heart attack?

Different kinds of headaches require different remedies. If aspirin/tylenol/ibuprofen aren't working for you, it is possible you have either migraine or tension headaches, even a brain tumor. If the usual remedies don't work for your headaches, it would be wise to see a doctor.

As for relieving stress, you might try a regular yoga/meditation regimen; avoid red meat; cut back on stimulants; check on whether you're lactose intolerant; exercise regularly; don't drink too much booze; drink plenty of water; make sure you move your bowels at least once a day; and try to treat others lovingly, rather than cruelly.

well i gat massive migranes all the time and have saw several doctors for this and the main thing that i heard is that caffeine tends to help the best.. there are also natural herbs that you can take, go to the local pharmacy or even better naturalist store they will be able to help you find something that you can use even at work that will not affect anything else.

get some ice cubes and rub them on your forehead.

It is not a normal headach. It is a migraine! Sesitive to light,sound, noise, pains on sides of head can strike in clusters. The blood vessels in the brain are swelling and you need to see a neouroligist. and alot of people think that they have sinus headach. sorry it is migrainge I am a suffer that if you don't get it controlled you will have to take shots. Strees!,BIG FACTOR, hormones,diet,YOU'RE NOSE FEELS PLUGED, YOU GET SICK TO YOU'ER STOMACK, DIERRIA, this all goes with migraines and over the counter meds WILL NOT HELP!!See a doc. before you get worse and even get blood clots to the brain. If you don't get controll, the migraines will take control of you and can disable you they are very painful.I know i go thru it all the time.
