A member asked:

I have a severe migraine headache. i am allergic to anti inflammatories. what can i take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Migraine.: Medicine-wise, start with Acetaminophen 100mg every six hours. If this doesn’t help in a day or two, go see your doctor. There are migraine-specific medications that can be tried the next time you get a headache.
