I read that over the counter medication is pretty useless for the headache.
I tried paracetamol, ibuprofen, sudafed spray and tablets but it didn't touch it. I don't know if it was coincidence but on waking up at 1am on the third day with a severe headache I took a naproxen which had been prescribed to me for a bad back last year. The next day the headache had gone (and didn't come back).
