Answer 1

(TREATMENT) : Well I would give them: Aspirin, Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others), and Acetaminophen (Tylenol, others).

Or I would tell them to do this:
- Rest in a quiet, dark room.
- Hot or cold compresses to your head or neck.
- Massage and small amounts of caffeine.
- Over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others), acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) and aspirin.
