I have been suffering from headaches for the past 20 years, and my current headache has been continuous for the last week. I have tried painkillers like Saridon, Crocin, Vasograin, and Dolo 650, but they are not providing any relief. What alternative medicine or treatment should I take for this?

Since you have had headaches for 20 years and this episode has lasted a week, you may be experiencing 'Medication Overuse Headaches' (rebound headaches) caused by frequent painkiller use. Overusing drugs like Vasograin and Saridon can actually make headaches chronic and unresponsive. Please stop self-medicating and consult a neurologist immediately. You need a proper diagnosis and a transition plan to prescription preventive medications (such as beta-blockers or topiramate) and specific rescue drugs (like triptans). Non-drug alternatives like acupuncture, lifestyle modifications, and stress management can also prevent future attacks. Do not start new medicines without a clinical evaluation.
