What can I do if I am taking medication for my headache but it’s getting worse?
Dr Manjit Matharu, a Consultant Neurologist at Queen Square, says there are likely 2 different possible causes of this situation: The first being the medication you are taking is not working at all hence the pain getting worse. The second possibility is a well established concept known as medication overuse headache which is a result of taking pain killing medication too frequently. The suggested solution to this is cutting down and optimising medication intake to less than 10 days per month.
