What do you suggest if my head hurts so bad like it's pounding and headache medicine isn't helping any ideas?

Dr. Adam Lewis answered

Headaches: See your medical doctor to obtain relief. A thorough history and physical examination will determine the type of headache, the cause of the headache, and provide the best treatment to relieve the headache. In the meantime, Drink lots of fluids, try sleeping, or resting in a dark and quiet cool room. Massage, aromatherapy, and meditation techniques may help too.
