Brief Answer:
Aleve can help
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. As such, such pain can come back from time to time. Motrin (ibuprofen) can be used. Aleve (naproxen) is a drug of same category but should be more effective and can be taken by your son. Tension headaches are usually triggered by stress and so stress relieving exercises like meditation and yoga should help.
Let me know if you wish to know about anything specific.
