Most headaches go away on their own and are not a sign of something more serious.

How you can ease headaches ?

Headaches can last between 30 minutes and several hours.

We recommend to:

  • Drink plenty of water
  • Get plenty of rest if you have a cold or the flu
  • Try to relax – stress can make headaches worse
  • Take paracetamol or ibuprofen

We do not recommend:

  • Do not drink alcohol
  • Do not skip meals (even if you might not feel like eating anything)
  • Do not sleep more than you usually would – it can make the headache worse
  • Do not strain your eyes for a long time – for example, by looking at a screen

See a Doctor if:

  • your headache keeps coming back
  • painkillers do not help and your headache gets worse
  • you have a bad throbbing pain at the front or side of your head – it could be a migraine or, more rarely, a cluster headache
  • you feel sick, vomit and find light or noise painful
