Specializes in Neurology

Further evaluation: Sumatriptan won't be helpful for continuous headaches. Over the counter meds can exacerbate headaches and make them chronic. More information is necessary for further recommendations. Any other symptoms? Have you received an MRI? Anything concerning on exam? If otherwise normal, a daily preventative migraine med may be necessary.
