Student A: Hey, you don't look so good. Is something wrong?

Student B: Yeah, I have a terrible headache. It's really bothering me.

Student A: Oh no, that's not good. I think you should try a couple of things to relieve the pain. First, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Dehydration can sometimes cause headaches.

Student B: That sounds reasonable. I'll make sure to drink more water.

Student A: Great! Also, you can try closing your eyes and resting for a while. Sometimes taking a break and relaxing can help reduce the headache.

Student B: Good idea, I'll find a quiet place to rest.

Student A: Another option is to apply a cold compress or ice pack to your forehead or the back of your neck. It can help numb the pain and reduce inflammation.

Student B: I'll give it a try. Thanks for the advice!
