See her doctor.: Please have her examined by her doctor. Certainly these may be migraines, but she needs to be examined to rule out other causes of her headaches. Her doctor can then treat her with the proper medication, if necessary and/or refer her to be seen by a specialist (neurologist).

Migraine management: Migraine prevention is key (avoid aged cheeses, sulfates, chocolate, preservatives, over-ripe fruit, etc). Feverfew is an herb which, if taken daily, has reduced the frequency of migraines in many people. Migraines may be aborted if products like Excedrin are taken at the first sign, and laying in a dark room with ice pack to the head to sleep can also help.
