I've. had a headache for the past 3days an i've tried taking tylenol (acetaminophen) but it doesn't seem to be helping , should i go see my family doctor ?

Long Headache: Hi Shana, The general answer is yes. 3 days is a long time. In my experience, you may want to switch to Excedrin because it has 65 mg of caffeine in it. Caffeine can be a good way to literally "close down" the migraine as a treatment; but not as a preventative. But again, your PCP is your best bet because you can give him all your symptoms so he can make to best decision to help you. Good luck!
