Headache: If you have no allergies, you can try tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil. If your sinuses are clogged, try a decongestant. If these do not help, call your primary doctor...

Self care : Ice application as well as warm compresses can help with headache disorders. I have had patients who have been able to manage their symptoms completely using ice application followed by warm compresses. You can also massage your temples for a couple of minutes following the ice/warm application. You may need a muscle relaxant or a check up with your pcp.

See an eye doctor: Your description could be due to serious eye problem such as increased eye pressure, angle closure glaucoma, etc. You need to see an eye doctor asap.

May be benign: Severe headaches and eye pain can occur with migraine, but the reverse could exist, such as a eye problem causing secondary headache. Would suggest you not be your own doctor, and get evaluated first. Anticipate you will feel much relieved when you are diagnosed and treated.

Best Headache Meds: A 2014 study indicates that medication containing a combination of acetylsalicylic acid, (aspirin), acetaminophen(paracetamol), and caffeine is more effective than acetaminophen alone. http://thejournalofheadacheandpain.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/1129-2377-15-76
