The heating pad seemed to help my migraines. Sometimes ice did....however, I mentioned to my neurologist that the right side of my face did not seem to have as much sensation as the left did (it is now okay), and he said I probably gave myself frostbite <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> by keeping the ice on there too long. (falling asleep). I had a terrible reaction to Imitrex (loss of sensation in left arm, chest pain, throat closing up), and got off that med! Come to find out, my migraines were caused by 1) pollen (allergy), and Hormones. Ask your daughter's gynecologist about the link between hormones, headaches, and aspirin. Once I found out I had allergies and started med, within 3 days the symptoms started disappeariing, and my incidents of migraines drastically reduced. Now that I am post-menopausal (49), the migraines are a thing of the past. Watch when she gets these; when she ovulates, when she has a period, or a few days before. Each season brings different pollen. Good luck with this. Tiger balm was a huge help also, but the orange kind will stain your clothing. I would rub it on the right side of my face and neck.
