It's all personal oppinion if you feel its severe don't spar for a few days next time try not getting tagged so much because it's only putting you farther behind. -
pop some motrin and drink water. probably shouldn't spar as long as you feel pain or grogginess in your head.Comment

When I first started to box I used to.Comment

Either, or. Motrin and Advil are the same stuff; ibuprofen. Aspirin works, also.
What rj_ct said, above, should be gospel -- it certainly is from my doc: DO NOT SPAR WITH A HEADACHE. PERIOD. EVER. Read up on Second Impact Syndrome. It's real, and it's a threat in our sport.
Rest up, hit the bag and the pads if you feel restless. But no sparring until your headache goes away.Comment

I heard Calzaghe doesnt spar much only when it near the bout he spar lightlyComment

I get them too, but I think its a bad sign. I think its a good idea to take a day off if you get a bad one. If you do train I'd stay away from the heavy bag too because that can send some impact back up and jar your head a little too... not much but its better to rest. I've also heard that staying well hydrated can help avoid concussions or help recover or something. I don't remember the details of why but it sounded logical and can't hurt either way.Comment
