I have had a migraine for two days, I feel like vomiting, my headache wakes me up at night. What can I do?

Hello Ma'am,

The situation you describe needs the attention of a physician. In fact, only doctors can provide a diagnosis and I think we need a clear diagnosis before we attempt a treatment option. Otherwise, we risk causing negative effects without the benefits of treatment, as well as causing a delay in addressing your current situation.

In situations like this, cortisone is sometimes prescribed to "break" the migraine...

As the pandemic is causing great challenges at the doctor's office, perhaps you could try services such as Hello Health or Maple if your doctor can't see you within a week.

I'm sorry I can't help you at this time.

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
