Specializes in Pain Management

NSAID OTC or Tylenol (acetaminophen): Any headache always must be viewed as a valid medical disorder and the headache assessment must be comprehensive. You can take NSAIDs OTC or Tylenol (acetaminophen) for a limited time. See your PCP for: headache evaluation, rule out secondary cause, tests, imaging and treatment options.
