Hello,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Care Magic. I read your query and I understand your concern and the anguish that you are having.

There is a chance that the excess sugar or some other ingredient in the drink is causing the headaches. Your friend should avoid the drink for a week and see if it helps you. If stopping the drink does not work, the Drink may not be causing the issue.

Here are a few things that you can do:
Inhale steam mixed with Eucalyptus oil to clear the nasal passages
Take a Paracetamol 500 when you feel you are about to get a headache
Drink lots of water
Sleep well and get at least 8 hours of sleep a day
Eat meals at regular times

Follow up after 5 days. All the best.
Hope this helps you. Feel free to clarify further.
