Hello,
There is absolutely no need to worry as for pain aspirin can be taken up to 650 mg four times a day although the maximum daily dose of aspirin is up to 4000 mg per day. So yes you can take an extra dose of aspirin for your headache.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
