How do i get rid of a headache when ibuprofen doesn't work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Look at causes: Headaches can occur from a number of things. So if Ibuprofen isn't working, which is the over-the-counter solution, then it's time for you to see your primary care doctor. If your headaches are due to stress, then this has to be looked at closer. If your headaches are due to sinus or are migrainous, then that's another cause.Dietary considerations cannot be over emphasized by eliminating caffeine.
