Treatment for Cluster Headache

NyQuil, primarily an over-the-counter cold and flu remedy, contains antihistamines (doxylamine) and analgesics (acetaminophen) which may provide symptomatic relief for cluster headaches through mild sedation and pain reduction. While not specifically indicated for cluster headaches, its sedative properties and potential anti-inflammatory effects can offer temporary palliative benefits by potentially reducing neurogenic inflammation and promoting relaxation.
