Getting headaches every other day for many years is not considered normal and may be due to causes like migraine, eye strain, stress, or sleep issues. Try to notice triggers such as lack of sleep, screen use, or certain foods, and keep a routine with good hydration and rest. Simple measures such as limiting screen time and doing eye exercises may help reduce the frequency. As this has been ongoing since childhood, consult your doctor to find the exact cause and proper treatment.

If you are having cluster headaches every day, you should seek medical care as soon as possible because early treatment can quickly control the attacks. For immediate relief during an attack, doctors often recommend high-flow oxygen therapy and fast-acting medicines like Sumatriptan, which can relieve pain within minutes, while regular painkillers usually do not help much. To stop the daily attacks, a doctor may start preventive treatment such as Verapamil or a short course of steroids, depending on your condition. It is also important to avoid common triggers like alcohol, smoking, strong smells, and irregular sleep, as these can worsen attacks during this phase. Do not self-medicate or delay care, especially if the headaches are severe, frequent, or associated with eye redness or watering, as proper and timely treatment can significantly reduce both pain and frequency.
