A member asked:

Which type of food n drinks should be avoided during headache?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Personal issue: There is no medical reason to take or avoid particular foods during a headache. It would obviously be prudent to avoid any foods that may be causing the headache. In general it would be better to avoid alcohol.
