help, massive persitant headache!

So this week has been absolutly terrible for me! First I get food poisoning at the beginnig of the week and had it for about a day and a half, doc said the baby and I r ok and gave me an IV cuz I was a little dehidrated with it got some zofran for my nausia. Now and since around the middle of the day ive had this terrible headache that got worse. I dont like to take meds so I didnt have anything in the house to calm it down so all night id wake up from my headache and switch out the cold packs ive been useing to help it. (FYI-with higher blood vol. to the brain use cold not heat) so heres my thing today I woke up still having this massive headache called my mom for tylonol and just as I was going to the door to unlock it before me dad got there with meds, my foot touched the floor and felt sick, ran to the bathroom a few feet away and thew up before I could get to the toilet. So I started  crying, hyrried to cleen myself up answered the door crying told my dad what happened and he helped me clean up my bathroom then told me to go back to sleep. So I gelt a little better after the feasco still took the meds but the headache has creeped back and ive got an ice pack on my head again. (this sux, sorry for the long story) so my question now is how the hell do a get rid of it or at least calm it down so I can function other than the meds and an ice pack on my head? Please someone help me, it hurts so bad im in tears!

Wow I did not know that the pain I have would really effect the baby, but then again the stress does make alot of sence. Thank u so much! I finally reached my 6 point to take more so I took it and had a couple gulpa of dr pepper, would I just need to sip on more for a while or wait?

Caffeine helps expand the blood vessels and can help relieve tension. Hopefully the caffeine helps. Don't go to long in pain, because the stress from the amount of pain you're in can affect baby as well.

Thanx, I dont drink caffine hardly ever, all I do is drink water and lots since the docs that im about to burst every half hr lol, but ill try some caffine with my tylonol and see if it helps. Im still open for other natural and safe suggestions too.

Drink some caffeine. Keep up on the tylenol every 6 hours and drink water. If it doesn't go away you need to call your doctor for something stronger.
