Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 21-year-old female with a weight of 47 kilograms and a height of five feet. I have severe migraine after sex and it lasted for four hours. What to do?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It seems to be a sexual headache. It usually lasts for 24 to 72 hours. It usually occurs in the occipital area and it is unilateral. You can take Zolmitriptan nasal spray 5 mg. If you have repetitive attacks, then you need to take preventive therapy. If it lasts for more than 72 hours with associated signs such as loss of consciousness, confusion, and visual disturbance, then you need to seek medical help immediately.
You can use Zolmitriptan nasal spray 5 mg. For preventive therapy, you can take tablet Indomethacin 25 mg once daily before having sexual activity.
