Drink plenty of water and sleep. I used to get terrible migraines all time in elementary school. I used to get nauseous and I would throw up. Light, sound, and smells bothered me. I took Aleve for it and went to sleep. Sleep and time was the only thing that took them away for me, but the aleve might have helped.
Try getting anti-migraine drugs from the pharmacy (There are special ones for migraine), take the first tablet, and if it didn't work take one every 30 minutes, but do not exceed 4 tablets. Coffee could help strengthen the effects of the drug, and resting is always good.
take excedrine migraine medicine as directed. place a cool compress on the back of your neck and lay down in a dark silent room...and try to rest...
if this doesnt work then see your dr he can prescribe a medicine that will help relieve migraines.
i speak from experience because my daughter used to get really bad ones. the excedrine worked for awhile but then they got so bad that didnt work so well so i took her to our dr. they gave her a pill that worked great..
hope you feel better...
Dont eat anything that has glutamate in composition. Believe me!

I don't know how to get rid of a massive migraine, but I took a class in relaxation techniques. The teacher said that if you feel a migraine coming on (get the aura), put on one of those old time hair dryer caps and run the dryer. It stops the blood vessels from contracting which is the start of the process.
If you get more than 2 migraines a month, keep a diary of what happened before to see if you can identify the trigger.
I can't find a hair dryer with hood online. Maybe a shower cap and a hand held one would work. Anything to diffuse the air over your entire scalp area.
Good luck.
Go to your doctor. They make wonderful migraine medications now. They aren't painkillers, but rather vasoconstrictors. You can take them, and still work, drive, have a normal day. I take Maxalt, but there are others, such as Zomig. They work extremely well for a true migraine; much better even then prescription painkillers.
Try EFT.

I've had migraines for more than 20 yrs. You need to get a cat scan to rule out a serious illness. Can be caused by stress or even a good time enjoying life. The migraine specific drugs can also cause a rebound, making the migraine worse. I have been to the hospital and put to sleep to relieve the symtoms. They can last more than 4 days or more. There are also eye migraines, causing flashing and zig zag lights. It is life changing, now I take Maxalt, but is very expensive. You can go to RX Crossroads Pharmacy to help with the cost. Also it can run in the family especially for females.
