What is the best thing to do for a bad headache?

Take an over the counter pain killer or a doctor prescribed one and lie down to sleep. Most of the time this works.

Relaxation of mind and inhaling fresh air will help a lot in head ache. Hot drinks like coffee also can reduce the pain. A nap will surely cure the pain. Pain relief balms can give slight relief. If the pain is too much you can go for a paracetamal tablet.

It depends on the cause. Try the following: eat something healthy, shower(at least wash face and hair), and lay flat, in a dark, comfortable room, that is quiet. Lavender scent can help, they make beaded little bags with lavender. Take one Excedrin, if not better in 20 minutes, take another.
