When to Seek Help
The National Headache Foundation recommends that people seek medical attention if over-the-counter pain relievers do not ease the headaches and they need a larger dose of it.
Other cases that requires medical attention include:
- If the headache is new.
- If the episodes occur frequently.
- If the headache persists.
People should seek emergency medication attention if:
- The headache and migraine episode are very severe.
- The headaches come with other symptoms, such as fever, vomiting, confusion, loss of consciousness, stiff neck, and vision loss.
- The headache persists for 72 hours with less than 4 hours free of pain.

It is important that you discuss with your doctor about your symptoms and work together to discover the most suitable treatment for you.
