What should if you have got a headache?

Here are some tips on how to relieve a headache:

1. Drink plenty of fluids: Dehydration can cause or worsen headaches. Aim for 8-10 glasses of water per day.

2. Take over-the-counter pain relievers: Ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) can help relieve pain from headaches.

3. Apply a cold compress: Applying a cold compress to your forehead or the back of your neck can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

4. Take a warm shower or bath: The warmth of the water can help relax tense muscles and relieve stress, which can contribute to headaches.

5. Lie down in a dark, quiet room: Sometimes, all you need is a chance to relax and let your headache go away.

6. Get some fresh air: Go for a walk or sit outside for a while. The fresh air can help improve circulation and relieve stress.

7. Practice relaxation techniques: Yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises can help reduce stress and tension, which can contribute to headaches.

8. See a doctor if your headache is severe or doesn't go away: If your headache is severe, doesn't go away with over-the-counter pain relievers, or is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, nausea, or vomiting, see a doctor.
