What do you give DC for a headache?

It seems like A has some sort of viral thing going on. Started with a headache and stomach ache last night, turned into throwing up this morning and then tonight still throwing up, fever, headache and rash all over. Luckily she fell asleep but if she wakes up with the headache again tomorrow, what should I give her? I know that Tylenol doesn't do jack for me but is ibuprofen okay with an upset stomach?

    Sounds like fifth disease?  LO had that this summer, but I think the rash came later.

    Even if Tylenol doesn't work for you, it might for her.

    Make sure she gets a lot of fluids, especially with being sick, she needs to stay hydrated.

    Stay at home mom to a house of boys: two amazing stepsons, 12 and 9, and our 4 year old.

    I dunno if it would sit well. I can't give meds on an empty stomach. Maybe try a couple of sips of coke. I give her a shot glass full and if she keeps it down another.

    Hope she feels better soon!

    DD had just a headache (no other symptoms) this weekend and Tylenol knocked it out for her.

    DS gets really bad headaches and Motrin works better than Tylenol. And when the headaches get severe, I switch every three hours like when they have a fever.
