Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your wife's symptoms.
For acute pain relief, you can give her rizatriptan tablets.
In addition, she also needs preventive medications to reduce the frequency and severity of headaches. For this, she may take flunarizine, topiramate or propranolol tablets.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

I agree with you that changes in weather can trigger these migraines, so, it is important to treat the cough and cold. Gas can also trigger the headache and it should also be treated.

In migraine, there is photophobia (worsening of headache when exposed to light). That is the reason for her keeping the eyes closed.
