According to the World Health Organization (WHO), headaches affect 50% of adults, in any given year, globally. However, the pain and discomfort can be managed with <strong>headache medicine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Headache <\/strong>causes vary but are usually a result of stress or an underlying medical disorder such as anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, or migraine. Although it may be challenging to describe head pain, common <strong>headache symptoms <\/strong>include throbbing, constant, intermittent or unrelenting pain, eye pain, sensitivity to light or sound and nausea or vomiting for <strong>migraine headaches<\/strong>. The pain or discomfort may either be localized (skull or face) or generalized (whole head).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Headache Treatment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Typically, the first <strong>headache medicine<\/strong> prescribed for headaches and migraines is pain relievers. Many <strong>headache relief medicines <\/strong>are available over-the-counter (OTC), some without a doctor\u2019s prescription while others require a prescription.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment for headaches varies depending on the <strong>type of headache<\/strong> and the severity of the accompanying symptoms. Generally, there are three primary types of headaches, which include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 150%;\"><strong>Tension headaches<\/strong>: This type causes mild to moderate pain or discomfort on both sides of the head and can last from half an hour to 7 days.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 150%;\"><strong>Migraine headaches<\/strong>: This type affects only one side of your head but can sometimes affect both and lasts from 4 to 72 hours without treatment.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 150%;\"><strong>Cluster headaches<\/strong>: This type causes severe pain on one side of the head and usually occurs on an on-and-off basis for several weeks within a few months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Moreover, a medication used to treat headaches is grouped into three categories, including:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 150%;\"><strong>Symptomatic relief<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These medications are used to relieve <strong>headache symptoms <\/strong>such as pain or nausea and vomiting common in migraine headaches. These are <strong>OTC headache medicines<\/strong> that may or may not require a doctor\u2019s prescription.<\/p>\n<p>While taking these drugs, it is recommended to refrain from caffeine-containing beverages and foods as well as medications. Additionally, drugs containing narcotics such as codeine and barbiturates such as butalbital should also be avoided. Most of the drugs in this category including aspirin are not suitable <strong>headache medicine for children<\/strong>.
