Migraine or not: There are over the counter remedies that do work. Do make certain that the headaches are accurately diagnosed first. Certain foods, lack of resorative sleep, medications - including rebound from them, lack of hydration, and stress can trigger them. Typically migraines include a preceding aura, the pain is throbbing, often with sensitivity to noise and light. Family history can be confirmatory.

Not Migraines: Bad headaches are not migraines. Migraines are episodic and rarely felt even weekly, nevermind daily. These chronic daily ha are usually from a different trigger. Migraine medicines will usually do nothing for these pain patterns. You need to be evaluated to try to see if your problem is coming from the neck (85% of all ha come from neck), muscle tension, sinus dz, or other problems that need tx.

Not always migraine: It is unlikely that one get a "real" migraine every night. I too would question the diagnosis.
