What can I give my 5 year old for a headache?
My daughter came down with a stomach virus suddenly yesterday. This morning she says her head hurts. Is there something I can give her for a headache? TIA!

Fluids & Tylenol.
She's probably dehydrated.

I'd try either Tylenol or Motrin, which should help. Some water and a little rest.

Motrin is better for a headache.

Thanks everyone. Shes been drinking a ton, thankfully. I was just a little hesitant of giving her a fever reducer since she doesnt really have a fever. Her temp is 99.1. I'll give her some motrin.

I'd give her motrin - same thing I'd take for a headache.

Motrin and Tylenol, while they work to reduce a fever when needed, are not just for that purpose.
The main uses are for aches, pains, etc.
It's fine to take it with no fever. I do all the time.

Thanks! I gave her Motrin and she said her head feels better now. For some reason I had it in my head that giving her a fever reducer will bring her body temperature low, even though I take aspirin all the time for headaches too.
