It could be Medicine overuse headache or chronic daily headache. He needs to take some prophylaxis for his tension headache like tryptomer, S-citalopram etc so that use of analgesics can be reduced. For acute pain change the analgesic to naproxen. Visit a pain physician, psychiatrist or neurologist for detailed guidance
