Hi...by what you I feel that he might be having a Migraine. it will not be requiring antibiotics as I don't think it is sinusitis as you have not mentioned nasal discharge or mucus discharge and cough as the presenting complaints.
I suggest for pain - you give - Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.
If the episodes are becoming more frequent then he needs evaluation.
