A member asked:

What should i give a 5 year old for a headache?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

IBUPROFEN OR TYLENOL (acetaminophen): We need to figure out why your 5 year old is having headache. Could be her vision, tension, allergy problems, or other issues. I would have her examined if no improvement.
