Consult Physician: Especially if medication did not help gout. Probably need to stop medication.

Stop the medication: Frontal headaches are a particular side effect of indomethacin, and GI upset can occur with any anti-inflammatory. Consult your doc for an alternative treatment, i.E a local injection.
