A member asked:
Which pain killer is recommended for my severe headache?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Headache severe: You can take Acetaminophen but in my practice, Ibuprofen usually helps migrain-type headaches. If migraine is causing your headaches, a neurologist can prescribe alternate medications either to prevent it or treat it.
