What can you do for a splitting headache that Motrin and Tylenol won't even !
Question: What can you do for a splitting headache that Motrin and Tylenol won't even touch!?
I've had the worst headache all day long, so bad that I can't take noise or anything loud!. It's right over my eyes and down my neck!. I do live in East Texas where we are being hit with some of Gustav's nasty weather so the rain may have something to do with it!. What can I do for some pain relief when Tylenol and Motrin aren't even cutting it!?
I hardly ever take medicine for anything unless it's really hurting me, so I know the medicine isn't working due to me over using it or because I'm "immune" to it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This happens to me sometimes!.!.!. the BEST thing I have found to do is take 2 Excedrin migraines, drink a glass of any flavor gatorade (Gatorade is proven to help headaches), then try to be alone for 30 minutes in a dark room with a cold rag on my head massaging my temples!. If this doesnt help I would consider going to the Doc to get some migraine pills - I take Fioricet from time to time for this reason and it does work!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I get pretty bad headaches!. Usually, I take Excedrin Migraine because it works better than my prescription migraine meds!. However, I usually only take one Excedrin and one Aleve because the Excedrin has caffeine in it!. Since I don't usually drink caffeine, 2 Excedrins have too much caffeine for me!.
If you don't want to have to go to the store!.!.!.the best headache medicines usually contain 2 different painkillers (i!.e!. Aleve, Ibuprofen, or Tylenol) and caffeine!. So, try taking 2 different painkillers with something that has caffeine!.
Good luck, hopefully Gustav isn't giving yall too much trouble!. My family's in Louisiana but everyone is finally home safely!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Drink lots and lots of water and maybe some Gatorade!. When I haven't had much to drink I get killer headaches, so drink water and a little Gatorade to replenish your electrolytes!. Then just sleep!.!.!.
Lay down for awhile if your husband can handle the kids for awhile!.
EDIT: We're just starting to get the outer bands of what used to be Gustav, but now it's calming down!. Once Hanna hits around NC/VA, it's supposed to come over near me!. At least we're getting rain!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take Aleve with a warm drink (bc it will dissolve the pill faster) and then I know this will probably sound stupid but trust me it woks ~ Get some Peppermint Oil (any heath store) and put a dap of it on each of your temples and rub in and then a dab on your hand on the area between thumb and first finger and then try to just realx for a bit it really does work wonders!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Take some time out for yourself and soak in a warm bath with lights off and some candles lite!. hold a cold rag over your eyes and just relax!.!.Normally that will work for me!. I hope u feel better and everything is going ok with your family,friends and house with Gustav there and everythingWww@Answer-Health@Com
If you can (I know you are a mommy) laying down for a while by yourself!. Maybe your husband can entertain the kids for a while and you can have a 10-15 minute nap session!. That helps me a lot!. Also try cold compresses on your head!. Hope it gets better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
