In this particular case, give her the bed and turn out the lights. Get some heat source and soup or whatever else. Avoid too much conversation.
But I want to tackle the bigger issue of a girl crying. I originally read the title as her crying because of some situation that happened to her. In which case, simply trying to "fix it" is counterintuitively the thing you don't want to do. In that case, it's best to just let her rant about the situation and try to understand it enough to feel it with her.
Among guys, we generally show support for struggling friends by giving them advice, or fix it ourselves to show our willingness to "avenge" them in a sense. We'll tend to admire the willingness of our friends to try to offer solutions and tangible action.
But for most girls in my experience, if she is trying to just vent her emotions and you respond with "well what if you do this..." or "Let me fix the thing", then it looks more like you aren't relating to her feelings. Worse, trying to tell her what she did wrong. Worst of all, trying to solve the problem so she can shut up about it. So it's often best to just be with her right there, feel it with her, and talk about why you agree it sucks.

Get a wash cloth and run it under cold water. Wring it out well. Fold it twice and see if holding it across the headache helps. You might have to re-cool it again when it warms up.
