Can you recommend effective headache medicine for severe pain?

Patient's Query

Assalamu Alaikum My sister has been having severe headache for the past week. I have used a lot of painkillers but there is no relief. Please suggest some good medicine.1

Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

Experiencing persistent headaches can be concerning, especially when over-the-counter medications are ineffective. Possible causes may include tension, migraines, or even underlying issues like sinus problems. While it may be tempting to continue self-treating, I recommend visiting a neurologist for a thorough evaluation. They can determine the precise cause and suggest appropriate treatment, which may include prescription medications or other therapies. Meanwhile, ensure your sister stays hydrated, rests adequately, and manages stress when possible. Prioritizing her well-being is crucial, so don't hesitate to seek help.

My son 21 years old. Struggling with migrains. Have now started to feel pressure in forehead and dizzy. Have just now taken paracetamol 1 gram. Is it ok to take migraine medication he got from doctor last time now already? He is really scared to wake up and get it like last time. It was really bad with vomiting.

Male | 21

Weakness and sensitivity to light, as well as vomiting, may be the result of migraines. He is on paracetamol which is great, but he can also take the migraine medication his doctor prescribed if it is the case, even though it is soon after the paracetamol. It is important that the doctor’s guidance is adhered to and the medication is taken as instructed which will also help to prevent the next similar episode from happening.

My grandfather age is 69 one month before he has second brain stroke attack for 1 month he unable to speak and eat also unable to move tough

Male | 69

When someone has a stroke, it can affect their ability to speak, eat, and move. This happens because parts of the brain that control these things get damaged. It’s important for him to be monitored closely by medical professionals to provide proper care, support, and therapy to help him regain functions. Patience, love, and proper medical care are key in his recovery journey.

Respected Dr sahab I suffered laziness and tiredness every time but I taken satvit plus co q forte not batter. My sugar, thyroid, vitamin D and vitamin b12 all are ok. pl suggest

Male | 45

If your sugar, thyroid, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 are all normal, then the Satvit Plus Co Q Forte may not be the best choice for you. It is possible that you are just feeling tired due to a lack of sleep or stress. Consider getting more sleep, exercising regularly, and reducing stress. In addition, make sure you are eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and avoiding processed foods. Finally, if you are still feeling tired, consider talking to your doctor about other potential causes and treatments.

Sir, I have headache like tight band with nausea,stress,tension. Sir,Please give me some medicines for relief.

Male | 17

I see that you have a tight band headache around your head and feel like vomiting because of anxiety and stress as well. These signs might mean that you have a tension-type headache; typically caused by bad posture at work or eyestrain from looking at computer screens all day long. You could take some painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen to help relieve the pain in your head. Moreover try and calm down by breathing deeply plus drink lots of water. If this feeling doesn’t go away please go see a doctor so they can check it out.

I havent slept for 37 hours am i in danger?

Male | 21

It sounds like you're struggling with sleep. Short-term sleep deprivation can cause fatigue, dizziness, difficulty focusing, mood swings, and forgetfulness. It's important to address this issue promptly, as an ongoing lack of sleep can seriously affect your health and cognitive abilities. Try techniques like deep breathing, calming music, or creating a comfortable sleep environment to help you relax. If sleep problems persist or you're worried about your sleep patterns, consider seeking advice from a doctor or a sleep specialist.

Male | 31

Palpitations and shortness of breath may be due to various reasons such as anxiety, stress, or even a possible heart issue. It's essential to get evaluated by a cardiologist to rule out any serious conditions. In the meantime, try to practice deep breathing exercises to help with the shortness of breath and anxiety. Stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and try to reduce stress as much as possible.

Male | 20

I recommend taking the medication as prescribed to you by your doctor. But if you experience any side effects from it or want to go for some other treatment, you can talk to your neurologist. He will suggest some other treatments based on your condition like lifestyle changes, CBT or acupuncture etc. Also, follow-ups is must.

I was cleaning yesterday my aquarium and some drops of water touched my nose,I saw recently a video about the brain eating amoeba and I am afraid if I got it.I know how deadly it is

Male | 22

The chance of you getting the brain-eating amoeba from the water that touches your nose is very low. This amoeba infects the body via the nose and results in an uncommon infection. Symptoms include headache, fever, nausea, and if severe, changes in mental status. The best way to avoid this is not to swim in freshwater areas where amoebas may be present.
