When I ask what do to try to get rid of the headache, the answer is usually drugs (ibuprofen, Advil, Tylenol, or some other kind of NSAID). These drugs can be of help on occasion, but relying them on them at some sort of frequency can be dangerous. This class of drugs are one of the leading causes of trips to the emergency room every year. They can cause liver damage, gastrointestinal damage, and even death.
