Suggest Treatment For Coughing Up Of Green Colored Mucus In Children

Question : Hello. Our 10 year old daughter had a cold and cough right before Thanksgiving. She had the whole green mucus and runny nose thing. She still has the cough and some crud but not as much. We gave her Mucinex for the chest mucus which seemed to help. We haven't given her any all week as she was getting better. On friday, the teacher called and said she was lethargic, complaining of a headache and seemed out of it. Her main complaint was a bad headache across her forehead. I gave her some children's ibuprofen and she slept that night. Yesterday (saturday) she was fine, no headache but still has lingering cold. Today, her headache came back and she is crying and visibly in discomfort. I gave her some ibuprofen and she is currently resting. She recently switched glasses (same perscription). We have surmised that she either has a sinus headache or her eyes have gotten worse and the "other" glasses may be too strong and she is adjusting. She hasn't had headaches like this in the past. She didn't have any head injuries or fall down. Are we doing the right thing or are we missing a greater problem? XXXXX

Thanks for getting back. No fevers, just headache. Why Tylenol over ibuprofen? Just curious. She wears glasses all the time except when on her phone or Kindle. We are limiting those. As far as better at school or home, there is no difference in regards to headaches. Friday and today are the only times she has experienced them.
