Other Answers:
You could try drinking a cup of coffee or drinking a Mountain Dew. The caffeine helps to open the blood vessels that tighten with a migraine. Mountain Dew has the highest caffeine level of any soda.
If the pain is real bad, a trip to the E.R. might be in order. You may need a shot to get rid of the pain.

Contrary to the last response, AVOID caffeine! While caffeine may temporarily relieve headaches, caffeine also dehydrates you, which will only further an already painful headache.
There is not much one can do for migraines. Usually perscription medications are required. As far as over the counter medications go, different medications can help different kinds of pains. Tylenol PM can help because for one, it has tylenol in it, and it also will make you tired so you can sleep through the headache. I wouldnt recomend this though, as tylenol PM is highly highly habit forming and in the long run, will probably increase the frequency of your migraines. What works good for me, is to take 800 mg of ibuprofen along with 1 mg of ativan (a perscription medication for anxiety, but also a mild muscle relaxant and will make you sleepy) then I lay on my stomach on top of two pillows with a pillow on each side of my head and a bag of ice on the back of my neck. I do everything I can to block out all light and sound and then I just try to fall asleep. it doesnt always work, but it can help. Also, stay hydrated, avoid cigarettes and alcohol, and AVOID caffeine and sugar.
