Depends on cause: You should see your doctor for an evaluation of this complaint. Musculoskeletal causes respond well to ice paks, massage, anti-inflammatories. Other more sinister possibilities need to be checked for and treated accordingly. See your doctor soon to discuss this.

Rx for ice picks: Yes, often these headaches respond to indomethacin, which is a prescription cousin of ibuprofen, and melatonin. http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/neurology_neurosurgery/centers_clinics/headache/conditions/primary_stabbing_headache.html
