The only time I ever get a headache is when I have a full-blown cold.
This means the only time I take something for a headache is during my bi-annual (sometimes tri-annual) cold, in which case I take something along the lines of Tylenol Cold & Flu. This is a cocktail of:
- Acetaminophen,
- Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride,
- Dextromethorphan hydrobromide, and
- Doxylamine succinate.
It covers all the symptoms: aches, pain, congestion, coughs, sore throat. It works for me.
So I guess the short answer is I take acetaminophen for my headache.
