How to quickly get rid of a headache

 

Even though it is quite uncommon to fall seriously ill, even on a long journey, such as on a cross-country bus trip, headaches and other similar ailments happen all the time. The worst thing that could happen to anyone while on holiday, or even en route to a destination, is to be affected by sickness. Not only are they extremely annoying and painful at times, they may become dangerous as they affect perception, reaction time and overall health.

 

Since headaches are some of the most common and widely suffered ailments, they are also usually the easiest to cure; with treatments ranging from medicines, rehydration, migraine cocktails and simple pressure point manipulation. Depending on what the cause of the headache is, and how serious it is, try eating something light and drinking plenty of liquids to see if that will help. Dehydration and low blood sugar levels commonly bring on headaches.

 

Alternatively, think about carrying a small bottle of headache tablets with you at all times. If you are affected often, you may want to use this method, though it is important to remember to check with your doctor on the best use of any medication. Stress build-up and other physiological issues also cause headaches. To help alleviate these, try applying pressure to the area between your thumb and forefinger by squeezing it from either side. If you do not feel relief immediately, try lightly massaging the same area lightly, constantly applying light pressure.
