I get migraines about three or four times a year, from accidently eating MSG*, which is in everything that tastes good. I finally found a perscription medicine that sort of works, but you have to take it in the morning as soon as you detect it. But at that point it just feels like a normal sinus headache, so I almost never get it in time.
I think the best thing to do to get rid of a headache, honestly, is to ignore it. I just walk around pressing as hard as I can against the left side of my head and try to keep busy. Lying down just makes it the only thing you can think about. Although sleep eliminates it completely, if you can get there.
*EDIT: Monosodium Glutamate. Not Madison Square Garden.
