See doc: Diarrhea for 4 days w/out any obvious cause is concerning. You should see your doctor or at least provider more history to be able to answer your questions in more detail.

See a neurologist: Obviously you are experiencing frequent, often prolonged migraine headaches. What you should do is see a neurologist who can provide you with a diagnosis and personalized treatment plan, possibly including prophylactic medications.

Time to see doc: If otc drugs are not helping, i think it's time you see your primary care physician to get these symptoms evaluated (most likely due to the migraine) and to get prescription strength med to help you.

You need help: It sounds like you are fighting a losing battle and need some help. Diarrhea can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Dehydration is a common cause of headache and predisposes a person to migraine. Drink plenty of fluids with electrolytes, but if this is not helpful, you should see a doctor.

Migraine treatment: Once a diagnosis of migraine has been made, effective management of migraine involves three specific strategies: 1) patient education, 2) nonpharmacological management, and 3) pharmacological (medical) management. See an orofacial pain or headache specialist for evaluation and professional management.
