Hello, the headache your son experiencing is a radiating pain to the head and ear because of the tooth abscess. Empirical treatment with antibiotics will help a bit to get relieve d from pain before getting extracted. Ibuprofen or a high dose paracetamol might help to relieve the pain but tooth extraction is the best way to get cured. Thank you
