Should be fine: 200mg Ibuprofen (Advil) should be fine about 4 times a day with Tamiflu (oseltamivir).

Be Careful...: Should be OK. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is an option too. But if that headache gets really bad , or he gets sensitive to light, or acts funny, or starts throwing up or the like then a doctor should examine him. Be sure he keeps up on his fluids.
