how do I get rid of the headache? anything to make my eyes hurt less? help!

Answer #1

Cold ice pack on your eyes and a cool rag on your forehead mainly the temples, the temples will help with theheadache pain and icepack on the eyelids will help with swelling real quickly. It really works!! :) I hope your feeling better, sorry about the tears.

Answer #2

Yeah. I know what that’s like… sorry to hear about your tears.

Cold water gives some relief. Splash your face with it, then use a cold wet face cloth to help with the swelling. It wont take long, maybe 45 mins to an hour. No more crying. Watch a funny movie if possible. Try not to lie down though, and your head will clear up eventually.

And if you wear contacts, give them a break for now and stick to your glasses.

Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Answer #3

A hot bath, with a nice cold towel on my forehead and over my eyes, then a nap always seemed to help me! Hope you feel better :)

Answer #4

A bath always helps me. Just try and relax in the bath for a bit…
