While I'm waiting for my meds to kick in, these are the things I reach for:

The classic headache hat - I reach for this the most

This eye massager - I use this as a preventative, too - a few nights a week I'll do a full massage

This pain relief mask/eye pillow which is basically like an eye-only version of the headache hat

Just some suggestions! My mom got me the headache hat for a Christmas gift one year and it's one of the best gifts I've ever received. I don't even put mine in the freezer or fridge, whatever material it's made out of (and whatever's in the pockets on it) is cooling enough that I just keep it in my bedside table and put it on tight when I'm waiting for meds to kick in and it immediately has a cooling effect (which, along with the pressure, really helps as I wait!).

I got one made by Renpho on Amazon that’s nice.
