I am experiencing a half-sided headache due to a migraine. What medicine should I take for relief?

For immediate relief from a migraine, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like Ibuprofen (400 mg) or a combination medication containing acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine. If these are ineffective, prescription medications called triptans (such as Sumatriptan) are highly specific and effective for migraines. Resting in a dark, quiet room and applying a cold compress to your forehead can also help. Please consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment plan, especially if you experience frequent headaches, vision changes, or sensory disturbances.
