Question: what are you supposed to take for a headache?
Answer: Tension headaches: Pain relievers like acetaminophen (Panadol, Tylenol), aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin), or naproxen usually help. But be careful. Taking too many of these pills can cause hard-to-treat rebound headaches. If you need to take these drugs often, see your doctor.
