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
