Many: If caught early enough Excedrin or alive or Ibuprofen may help. If these meds do not work then medications like Imitrex (sumatriptan) or other medications in the same class should help.

Several choices: To stop headaches, triptans and ergotamines, also otc dolovent, or Excedrin migraine (if still available). To prevent, prescription meds, propranalol, timolol, valproex, topiramate, (also, consider tricyclics, calcium channel blockers, naproxen, indomethacin, and rarely, lithium). Might look at riboflavin, butterbur, co-q-10, feverfew for otc approaches.
