For severe migraines and headaches, treatment usually involves a combination of lifestyle changes, painkillers, and preventive medication. Over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen may help during attacks, while prescription medicines like triptans can be used for more severe episodes. Identifying triggers such as stress, certain foods, or lack of sleep, and managing them can also reduce attacks. It is important to consult a doctor to tailor treatment and rule out other causes.

Migraine symptoms typically include a throbbing headache (often on one side), sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and sometimes visual disturbances (aura). For treatment, over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help mild attacks. For moderate to severe migraines, prescription medications called triptans (e.g., sumatriptan) are highly effective. If his migraines are frequent, a doctor may prescribe daily preventive medicines like beta-blockers. Because migraine treatments must be tailored to his health history (especially cardiovascular health), please have your father consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and safe prescription.
