Question

How to get rid of photophobia and phonophobia during migraine attack?

Answer 1

Vaporizer: Many people are sensitive to extreme changes in barometric pressure. Often there is dry hot air followed by heavy humid weather. This triggers migraine in many. When dry use vaporizer and pretreat with decongestants. As soon as headache starts use Aspirin and tylenol (acetaminophen) together.

Answer 2

Hot shower massage: Head neck shoulder massage followed by a hot shower on head and neck and shoulders followed by bed rest.

Answer 3

Its individual: Everyone is a bit different in terms of what works for them. Try simple rest in a quiet, dark place first. Excedrin migraine is a good choice for a medicine if needed, although many respond to plain tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil or alleve. If these don't work, consider seeing your health care provider to consider if something else is causing your headache, or if a prescription medicine may help.

Answer 4

Who knows: That's the billion dollar question--whoever comes up with a universal answer will be a billionaire. Unfortunately, causes and types of migraine are so varied there is no simple, common treatment that works for everyone (or for even a majority). You need to discover what causes your migraines and eliminate those causes from your life if possible to even begin to figure out the answer for you.

Answer 7

Migraines: Acupuncture is option.

Answer 8

Migraine Headache: Migraine headache can be severe that you need to see a neurologist for guidance and treatment.

Answer 9

Check your bite: Believe it or not, many migraines are the result of bite problems. I would certainly see a neurologist to rule out other causes. That said, tmd is the great impostor, and has such a large array of symptoms that people do not know where to turn for help. Medications improve the pain. When you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, i would see a tmd trained dentist for evaluation.
