Hello,

Promethazine is not a medication that is typically used to treat migraines. It is an antihistamine that is often used to treat allergy symptoms, nausea, and vomiting. While it may provide some relief from migraine-related nausea, it is not a recommended treatment for the underlying headache.

There are several medications that are commonly used to treat migraines in teenagers, including:
* Acetaminophen: This over-the-counter pain reliever can be effective in reducing mild to moderate migraine pain.
* Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): These drugs, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, can also help reduce the pain associated with migraines.
* Triptans: These medications, such as sumatriptan and rizatriptan, are specifically designed to treat migraines and can be effective in relieving pain and other symptoms.
* Ergotamines: These medications, such as dihydroergotamine, are also specifically designed to treat migraines and can be effective in reducing pain and other symptoms.

It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific situation, as the treatment of migraines can be complex and depends on the individual's symptoms and medical history.

Additionally, some medications may have potential side effects or interactions with other medications, so it is important to follow the guidance of a healthcare professional when taking any medication.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
