How To Treat Recurring Headache?

Hi, my wife has been having a severe headache since Wednesday night (6/17) through right now (Thursday evening - 6/18). She had taken excedrine otc migraine medication at noon today as rec. by our pharmacist. It gave her relief for about an hour but afterwards the headache started coming back. She is in a lot of pain now. Should I take her to the hospital?

CBT and relaxation therapy are helpful, CST is helpful, online breathing meditation workshops art of living are helpful in long term recovery.
