Introduction
Patients can apply a warm towel to the head or gently massage the head to promote blood circulation and relieve headache symptoms. They should get plenty of bed rest and avoid strenuous exercise or overexertion. Maintain a regular sleep schedule by going to bed early and rising early, and avoid staying up late. Drink plenty of warm water, follow a light diet, and avoid spicy or irritating foods such as garlic, chili peppers, etc.

Wrinkle-removing injections generally refer to anti-wrinkle injections. If a patient experiences severe headache after receiving anti-wrinkle injections, they may relieve the symptoms through general treatments, medication, and other methods.

1. General Treatment

If the severe headache following anti-wrinkle injections is considered an adverse reaction, patients are advised to alleviate it through general treatment measures. Applying a warm towel compress to the head or gently massaging the scalp can improve blood circulation and help reduce headache symptoms. Patients should get adequate bed rest and avoid strenuous exercise or overexertion. They should maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoiding late nights; drink plenty of warm water, follow a light diet, and avoid spicy or irritating foods such as garlic and chili peppers.

2. Medication

If the pain is severe and general treatments fail to provide effective relief, patients should seek medical attention for pharmacological treatment. Under a doctor's guidance, patients may take medications such as ibuprofen tablets, acetaminophen tablets, flunarizine hydrochloride capsules, or sodium valproate sustained-release tablets to manage the condition.
