Is Ibuprofen The Right Medicine For Stabbing Headache?

I have pain in my head, not like a headache more like intermittent shooting pains. The pain is in the same area every time and it starts around my temple and shoots back to the back part of my head. I have had a few yesterday and then today I am having a lot of them, Tried to take some Ibuprofen and it has continued.

Hi,

Are You are suffering from headache for few days only ??

If only few days, you can take ibuprofen, it is good analgesic.
But if your history of headache for long time and intermittent , consult with a specialist for proper diagnosis and management.
