My teenage daughter struggles with severe migraines, especially during exam stress. We ensure she drinks plenty of water, avoids processed foods, and rests in a dark, quiet room during an attack. Do consult a pediatrician or neurologist to get the right medicine.

Beta, migraine pain is very difficult to bear. Sit in a quiet room with no lights and apply a cold cloth on your forehead. If the pain does not go away with rest, please visit the town doctor for proper medicine.

I used to panic thinking my throbbing headaches were due to something scary inside my brain. Once my doctor diagnosed it as classic migraine and gave me proper lifestyle guidelines, I felt so relieved. It is highly manageable once you know your triggers.

Stop experimenting with self-medication for chronic migraines. Go to a neurologist and get a prescription for preventive or abortive drugs that actually work. Also, cut out screen exposure and high caffeine immediately during an attack.

Kamla Devi · Answer

Just lie down in a dark, quiet room and try to take a deep, calm breath. I hope your headache goes away very soon and you feel better.
