: She should be seen by a neurologist or a headache specialist. This could be a migraine variant that will respond to migraine medications. If it is a stress headache, treating each headache with acetaminophen or ibuprofen and finding out what is causing her stress would be helpful. So, see a headache specialist or neurologist. Good luck!
