The best medications for headaches are typically over-the-counter pain relievers such as:
1. Acetaminophen: This medication can help relieve headache pain by reducing inflammation and blocking pain signals.
2. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Examples include ibuprofen and naproxen sodium.
In some cases, if over-the-counter medications do not provide sufficient relief, a healthcare professional may recommend prescription medications such as:
1. Triptans: These medications, such as sumatriptan (Imitrex) and rizatriptan (Maxalt), work by constricting blood vessels in the brain and blocking pain signals.
2. Muscle relaxants: Medications like cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) or tizanidine (Zanaflex) can help relax tense muscles in the head and neck, providing relief from tension headaches.
3. Antidepressants: Tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline (Elavil) or nortriptyline (Pamelor), can be prescribed for chronic tension headaches to help relax muscles and regulate neurotransmitters that are involved in pain pathways.

You can take a Dolo if your headache is mild and you don’t have any medication allergy.
If the headache is recurring and has a pattern, kindly consult a doctor.
