This is probably due to the glare. Use the blue light filter or night mode on your iPad. Also, you can get an anti glare glasses which is for this purpose only. NSAIDs for such a long duration is not recommended.

You should consult a General Physician in your area for your headache. You can take Paracetamol every day but you should also take Pantaprazole D before it, or  along with it. Please seek a proper consultation on Practo or with a General Physician in your area.

Do not read or study continously,take a break after 30- 45 mins. These frequent headaches are bcoz of increased screen time and less meals.Eat proper meals at regular intervals.Also have a good night sleep.

Hi., I can understand your concern. As you said, it can be due to tension headache. Give 5 mins break for every 20 mins and deviate your sight to a thing that is 20 metres in distance. You can take paracetamol when the pain is high., But not for regular use.

massage around your eyes. plan for yoga.
