                  Try not to over-exert yourself physically and avoid all types of mental stress. In

                  acute cases, consult your doctor for appropriate medication that can bring relief.


                  A good way to tackle migraines is to keep a daily diary that records all your
                  activities. You must record the frequency, intensity and symptoms in detail. This
                  will help develop a co-relation between your actions and your migraines and help

                  to reduce future episodes.


                  Coping with migraines in children is challenging since they may not be able to

                  share all their feelings. You must rule out other neurological problems by
                  consulting a doctor and getting the child to undergo the necessary medical tests.

                  You can give the child mild headache medication and let him rest until the attack
                  passes. Be attentive to the child and handle him with love until his suffering

                  eases.


                  Coping with migraine headaches may require that the individual change his food
                  habits and lifestyle. Someone that suffers migraines regularly must be alert for

                  symptoms of an attack and take the proper precautions to help avoid them.
