How Are Migraines Treated?
Medications can be used to either prevent the migraine from occurring or treating it once it occurs. Your doctor will decide what medication to prescribe based on the severity of your headaches and any of your other health conditions. Over-the-counter medicines may provide relief as well.
Other steps you can take at home to relieve migraine pain include:
lying down in a quiet, dark room
massaging your scalp or temples
placing a cold cloth over your forehead or behind your neck
