Answers:
Advil is just like any other pain medicine, nothing special. They might be due to high blood pressure, in which case pain killers would do nothing for them. also, usually treating pain is pretty much useless for headaches because they'll just come back when the pain medication wears off and you really shouldn't be taking it often. I would suggest talking to your doctor to try to figure out what is causing them and what you can do to prevent them, rather than having to deal with them constantly. If your doctor diagnoses them as headaches associated with migraine, he or she might be willing to prescribe you maxalt or imitrex.Health Question & Answer
