Brief Answer:
Aleve, hydrocodone,

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
As far as the pain from the wisdom tooth after extraction is concerned, it can be relieved from the aleve ( naproxen - a non steroidal anti inflammatory drug) and hydrocodone (Is a narcotic pain killer).
If you are still taking these two drugs for head ache, You can continue the same for the wisdom tooth extraction pain. These drugs are very much effective in tooth ache. There is no need to take ibuprofen again.
Regarding Ibuprofen, It will be effective in general head aches but it will not be effective in vascular or migraine head aches.
I hope my answer will be helpful, take care.
If any queries are there, reply me back.
