Consider medication: Such as tylenol (acetaminophen) or a NSAID to help with pain. If this is a chronic issue, please have it medically evaluated.

How badly it hurts?: The intensity of pain is important -- if it's the worst headache you've ever had in your life, you need to be evaluated as a medical emergency. If it's a painful but not as intense as that, dr. Fowler's suggestions are excellent.
