Answers:
You should drink plenty of fluids, water is best. Dehydration is a cause of headaches. You should also lie in a dark room with a cold compress across your eyes, that helps some. If you like coffee, drink a couple of cups, black, no sugar. Caffeine is an ingredient in many headache medications, sometimes just drinking coffee is enough caffeine to eliminate the headache. If you have pain in your eyeball or are sensitive to light/sounds you probably have a migraine, that will require medication. If you have migraines or frequent headaches I'd suggest calling your doctor.Health Question & Answer

I have tried 1) massaging the head, top, sides, face especially the forehead and around the eyes. You can also massage the spot of your headache directly OR 2 ) massaging the area of your right hand on both sides of the thumb. also You can gently pinch the area of your eyes near to your nose. They work Especially massaging the entire head and face. also try massaging your neck.Health Question & Answer

Try drinking a lot of water. Some headaches are caused by the tiny blood vessels in your scalp collapsing due to dehydration, thus causing the pain in your head. Before you take any meds, try drinking down a couple of glasses of water, and then just sit or lay quietly. Another thing you can try is acupressure. There is a place on your hand that is located between your thumb and your index finger that feels a little 'webby'. If you gently pinch there, but in towards where the web part starts to feel like muscle, that should help ease off your headache. I laughed too until I tried it and it worked. Good luck.Health Question & Answer

However if you really don't want to take medicine try laying down with a cold towel over your eyes.
