First time in my life I'm experiencing migraine headache that's getting worse instead of better due to the bad pain on the right side of my temple and top of my head. It's more than 72 hours and i still have it...I'm doing warm compress over my head and forehead. I barely slept due to the pain ... I have no one to take me to the hospital... please guide me .

First episode of a severe headache at the age of 42 lasting longer than 72 hours should warrant a diagnosis other than migraine and needs evaluation. However,  if you have had migraine for long, and this episode that your are describing has gone for long, you may need adequate dose of painkillers and probably preventive treatment too depending on past history. In any case, it is better to get it checked out.
Next Steps
Visit a psychiatrist or a neurologist.
Health Tips
Take PCM 650mg sos, sleep in a dark, quiet room.
