Hi,
Migraine headache usually are hemicranial headache,involving the temple ,can extend to eyes and entire hemicranium. It usually will be throbbing headache.If you are having prolonged headache duration and that occurs 3 times per month,then you should consult neurologist as you should be evaluated and prophylaxis treatment should be started.
Can have simple paracetamol 500 mg for relief of headache.
Get well soon
Kind Regards
