Hello,
Simple OTC pain relievers are usually the first line of treatment for reducing headache pain.
These include the drugs aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen (Aleve).
Prescription medications include naproxen (Naprosyn), indomethacin (Indocin) and ketorolac (Ketorolac Tromethamine).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
