I've had a headache all day today. I've stayed hydrated, tried ibuprofen and have eaten quality meals. I can't seem to shake it. What else should I try?
I've had a cold for a few days and actually felt better this morning until this headache showed up. Ugh.

Caffeine? I usually try to have a small cup of tea or pop and that helps.

Could it be your sinuses, since you've had a cold? If it is a saline spray or Neti pot could help. You could also try putting heat (rice pack or heating pad) on your forehead and cheekbones for 2 minutes on, 2 minutes off...it can help break up the congestion. Otherwise maybe Tylenol Sinus would help more than Motrin?

@LuLu Mom: huh, I haven't had caffeine for 2 days because of this cold so maybe I'm going through withdrawl? Is that possible?
@IRunForFun: I think I'll go over to the drug store and get some allergy medicine and see if that helps. I'm not at home so I can't do any heat compresses yet but that's a good idea, too.

@mediagirl: I get headaches from lack of caffeine, it's worth a shot! Hope it works!

@mediagirl: I get migraines from caffeine withdrawal. I'd definitely try some coffee or a Coke or something.

I would try Excedrin (has caffeine in it) and 2 Sudafed- that always works on my sinus headaches (if its sinus related)
