Hello,
You should change the medications, take Naproxen and high dose of aspirin after prescription. Take tab pantaprazol also for gastric problem after prescription.
- Avoid noise and bright light, lie down her in a quit and dark room
- Massage her scalp or temples
- Place a cold cloth over her forehead or behind the neck
- Give plenty of water to her
- Take some magnesium
- Avoid foods high in histamine like aged cheeses, fermented food, smoked fish and cured meats
- Give coffee and tea to her, caffeine can help to reduce headache
- Try acupunture
- Relax her with yoga
- Avoid strong smell
- Sip some ginger tea
After using all remedies, if she is still not cured then please contact the concerned doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
