1. What about a massage with towel dipped in warm water? Then you can tie your head tightly with a piece of cloth. You can even apply any headache balm. It works out for me.

2. what painkillers are you taking? try and take stronger ones if they're that bad.

3. Have someone massage your neck and shoulders.
Drink some minty hot tea.
Take a relaxing bath or shower.
Don't strain your eyes too much, make sure you always have good lighting when reading or using the computer.
Rub your temples, gently.
I've also heard that massaging the pressure point between your thumb and forefinger for 10 minutes will dissipate headaches... never tried it though.

Good luck!
