I agree with the other ladies. NO IBUPROFEN during pregnancy! Another thing to try that has helped me are weekly visits to the chiropractor. My chiro has been a miracle worker for me.
Also try lightly massaging the temples and an ice pack on the back of the neck, forehead, or temples.

Ibuprofen is not to be taken during pregnancy.. Ive gt migraines and now that in pregnant its so severe because I can't take ny usual medication so I take paracetamol low dose for the sake of the baby even tho it doesn't helo much.. try washing her hair with cold water n place cold olive oil in her hair she should feel better with that.. well it works for me..

yes, acetaminophen only! no ibuprofen! my doctor gave me a prescription for some stronger Tylenol as I am experiencing migraines daily, so if they are that bad she may need to ask for something stronger

The only pain reliever you can take is Tylenol... Nsaids are dangerous for baby
