Headaches have found their way into the heads of humanity. The pain they give us varies, sometimes turning into severe migraines that cause people to vomit. But who do you turn to when Advil simply won’t treat your most extreme cases?
Exactly when do I need professional help?
Many times, our headaches tread an average pain path; you feel the squeezing sensation and once your recommended dose of Advil, you’re in the green! Otherwise, how do you know when the “normal” headache isn’t so normal anymore? Medical professionals recommend reaching out for help if:
- Your headaches not only continue, but actually get worse.
- You feel the need to take more than your recommended dose of medicine.
- Your week consists of headaches.
Breaking down a migraine (or headache) gives us a better idea of the pain factors and a clear idea of the proper recovery methods to consider. Tension headaches, which are considered the most frequent type of cranium issue, are resolved with commonly used medicine such as advil, ibuprofen, and aspirin. Treatment forMigraines require a prescription from a doctor due to the strength of the anti-inflammatory remedies that help calm the pain. Cluster headaches can be healed by oxygen mask procedures, anesthetics, and injections of octreotide.
