To add to this: if you take ibuprofen regularly, remember to eat before taking it. Taking it on an empty stomach a handful of times is completely fine, but if you do it too much can cause stomach ulcers (not insanely common as far as I'm aware though.).
Anyway, this person is right, take some ibuprofen and rest.
Naproxen is what works for me.
My headaches are mostly tension from hamstrings on up the back.
A sinus rinse and Sudafed helps when it's sinus congestion.
A Guillotine.
Paracetamol. Make sure you are well hydrated and a bit fed as well.
Tylenol + caffeine + an NSAID (advil/motrin/aleive/aspirin) is the usual OTC drug combo, assuming you don't have any disorders that prevent you from taking them any of those things safely. You can also usually buy them as a combo pill under the brand name "Excedrin" (I think it has aleive specifically, also called naproxen).
Lifestyle: drink plenty of water, reduce your stress, get plenty of sleep.
Alternative/holistic:
Pinch your daiths. Some people get them pierced to prevent migraines.
Press your "third eye" pressure point, it's the spot between your eyebrows or where an Indian woman would wear a bindi. Idk about the liver or whatever else pressure points, but I can feel this one taking the pressure off.
I had a friend who swore by this pressure point for occasional nausea, if you're having that too.
Ibuprofen and caffeine. After consuming, lay down and try to nap until the caffeine hits.
Lots of water, a quality meal and fresh air.
I typically go for a hike.
As other's have said, hydration. But that's only if you're dehydrated. There is a pressure point near the base of your thumb, a bit towards your pointer finger. You can look it up for more specifics. I find that hitting that pressure point helps about 20% of my headaches.
If you regularly consume caffeine and haven't recently: caffeine.
If you regularly consume nicotine but haven't recently: nicotine.
If you regularly consume any drug, really, but haven't recently: youre probably experiencing withdrawal; the most common side effects from withdrawal of most substances is a headache.
Caffeine, ibuprofen and a long walk combo helps me sometimes. I'm pissed they no longer sell ibuprofen with codeine here, that shit used to help me real fast.
Agree with the others here.
For future prevention, if you have money and since it's a tension headache - you might consider some corrective massage.

For me it's two 200 mg Ibuprofen.
Two 250 mg acetaminophen works, but not as well.
Aspirin kinda sucks for me in this role so I don't use it.
Sometimes, I've found that headaches can be caused by muscle tension or aches. I grind my teeth at night, for example, and if I forget to wear my mouthguard, I have headaches the next day. Often the tension is hard to spot until it's gone - I speculate that this is part of why sleeping tends to help with headaches.
If this is the cause, I've found that a strategy to identify and relax areas of tension is to work through an area and consciously tense the muscles, and then relax. It feels like turning something off and on again. Like if I've been doing computer work, my muscles around my eyes may be tired, and tensing the area for a few seconds and then releasing can help reduce that.
The quickest way I got rid of a headache was when I ate salt.
I had a terrible headache, and my mom told me that headaches can sometimes be connected to having too little salt.
So I poured some salt in my hand and licked it up, and within seconds the headache just lifted.
It was fantastic.
So if your headache is due to having too little salt, you can try this
The brain is funny. The placebo effect works, even if you know it's a placebo.
Water paracetemol wand sleep. Dont look at a screen either that doesnt help.
That's a very interesting type of sleep
better rest than dmt 2cb saber sleep.
Water, cbg, a little caffeine, aleve, gentle exercise like a walk, try to nap in a dark quiet room, prescription meds.
Drink water, watch your salt intake, add caffeine (bonus ingredient in Excedrin).

A very long nap and some carbs
Think about what could be causing and try to remedy that. Haven’t ate all day, eat something. Then meds and beds.
Cup of coffee and a beer.
Mixing an upper with a downer. Got it.
