Most migraines last about 4 hours, but severe ones can last up to a week. How often they happen differs for everyone, but itâs common to get two to four headaches per month. Some people may get migraines every few days, while others get them once or twice a year.
Teen migraines are often different than adult migraines. While adult migraines often last several hours or more and settle on one side of the head, in a child or young teen, a migraine may last for as little as one hour and the pain is often felt across the front of the forehead or on both temples.
