What works for me is usually something like ibuprofen, and or sleep. However, if there's a cause (dehydration, etc.), that should be addressed as well or it'll just come back or never go away even if you sleep or take something.

I can't swallow pills, so I have to crush them up first. I went back to sleep for a while and it helped. Sometimes when I go to sleep with a headache for the night, it won't go away and I will wake up with the headache still.
They make liquid versions and chewables too. Yeah, I've had headaches like that too. The only relief is a max dose of one of the headache meds. I try not to take them, but sometimes nothing else is effective.
Oh gosh, I try and sit out a headache, but it always wins. x ____ x ;;;
Especially when I'm at work and one of my kids decide that all they're going to do is scream all day. Yeah, my headache usually doesn't get better after that. xD
