Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Migraine is symptomatic diagnosis. All reports will come normal only.
For proper symptomatic relief in migraine, patient should follow these lifestyle modifications along with drugs.
So tell your daughter toh follow these.
1. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
2. Avoid excessive sun exposure.
3. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
4. Avoid fasting, take your meals timely.
5. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours.
For prophylaxis of migraine, combination of propranolol and flunarizine is recommended.
If still patient feels headache then sumatriptan is needed.
Don't worry, your daughter will improve with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
