Understanding Headache and Migraine
A headache is pain in the head or face. Tension headaches feel like a tight band around the head; migraine normally brings throbbing pain on one side, often with nausea and sensitivity to light and noise.
Avoiding Headache and Migraine on Holiday
Drink enough water, eat regularly, sleep well, limit alcohol, protect your eyes from glare and keep a diary to spot your triggers.
Treatment Options for Headache and Migraine in Marmaris
The doctor talks through your symptoms, works out whether it is tension headache or migraine, recommends treatment and rules out warning signs that need prompt investigation. Options may include simple pain relief, anti-sickness medicine and, for migraine, specific migraine medicines.
- Take simple painkillers as directed on the pack, early
- Drink water and rest in a cool, dark, quiet room
