Brief Answer:
yes you can..

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Welcome back to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern,

Yes you can take another 200 mg of Ibuprofen after some food..but instead of Ibuprofen, I'd suggest you to take Tab PARACETAMOL (Tylenol) 650mg after some food on SOS basis (not more than three times a day)..

Avoid stress and take rest, also drink plenty of water to remain well hydrated, it'll help in quick relief from headache..

Wish you good health

Take Care
Kind Regards
