Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.
See, this headache is probably a result of the tonsillectomy operation your kid has undergone.
Now, loratab is a good medication for controlling pain and in paediatric patients, stronger painkillers are not recommended. I would suggest you to consult your ENT surgeon regarding this complication. He will be able to tell further after examining him.
Hope this was helpful.
Regards
