My little brother is ill, with a ferocious headache and his body is at least a degree or two higher in his temperature, what should I do…? Is it better for a wet rag to be luke-warm or cold when placed on the forehead?

Answer by hotchocolatecherry
a warm compress will actually help his headache.Cold will only make it worse.You want to open up the blood vessels.Make sure it is not too hot.Give some Tylenol if he has not ingested alcohol or any other medications, and tell hime to rest.If temp starts to get higher meaning over 101.0 then he needs to be taken to the hospital

Dab a bit of peppermint oil on your forehead. The oil can cause skin irritation if used in excess, so just dab a little. It’s pretty effective for migraines.

Any chronic pain related to your head may be serious. You should see a doctor instead of asking us.

Sit in a hot shower for about 15 minutes. That should clear it up if it’s sinus pressure related.
