Depend: it depend what is causing the headache. not all headache are created equally. some headache has causes,if you eliminate the cause,you will prevent headache. how are you going to eliminate a sinus headache by taking pain medicine,or stress headache,or tension headache,or migraine headache,or headache related to vision or sight. find out what kind of headache you have,then you can plan a prevention.
