What do you do when you have a headache?

I have one right now and I just want to check what works for different people

2 painkillers, a wank then a nap and you’ll be good as new

It depends on the part of my head the headache begins. Back of the head, I get off my laptop and put icy hot cream on the muscles that connect my shoulders to my neck.

Top and front of the head, are usually allergies. I have steroid nasal spray and antihistamine nasal spray for that, and I check to be sure I've taken my Allegra and Montelukast. If that doesn't help, I have to get into the shower, because the water helps to unclog everything.

Icepick headaches usually happen due to tension, so I stop what I am doing for 10 minutes and just massage the area where they are occuring.
It depends on the type of headache tbh. I suffer from migraines and I take Topiramate to prevent migraines daily. If it feels like its just a headache ill take 3 extra strength tylenol, with a bottle of water with lemon and cucumber but if it feels like a migraine cooking up ill take an Imitrex, drink a cold coke mini then take a nap. I hope your headache subsides because migraines suck.

I drink a lot of water (preferrably cold). Then rest down in a cold, kinda dark place or I cover my eyes. Generally, sight is a very heavy cost for the brain to process (if not the biggest one)

Taking burdens off usually helps

I drink a good amount of water, most of the time it is due to dehydration setting in.

i take 1 ibuprofen and 1 acetaminophen and drink lots of water and try to sleep it off. that's just for headaches though. i don't get migraines anymore but i got them really bad as a kid. i think it was stress related because i'm chronically anxious and didn't start learning to cope with it until i was in my mid-teens.

Drink a lot of water, walk a little or lounge a little of I don'tfeel like walking, I try to nap it out. If it is cold out, I take a walk or just pop my head out in the fresh air.. it usually helps.

Usually take Tylenol or ibuprofen if it's allergie related. Rest my eyes if possible.
Three Excedrins usually does it for me.

Debilitating migraines plagued me since I was a child. One dose of psilocybin mushrooms cured me.

@Azlotto interesting
A little coffee and paracetamol
I take two extra strength name brand tylenol with a 12oz can of regular coca cola, the caffeine enhances and strengthens the efficiacy of the tylenol.
