Recurrent unilateral, throbbing headaches with nausea and photophobia, lasting hours, with a normal exam = migraine. The question asks for acute (abortive) therapy. For a moderate–severe attack that means a triptan (sumatriptan), often combined with an NSAID.
- Propranolol and amitriptyline are prophylactic drugs, not abortive.
- Carbamazepine is for trigeminal neuralgia.
