Hi,
You can give Tylenol (acetaminophen) for persistent headache in your daughter. Just make sure that the daily dose does not exceed 4grams at any cost and 3grams if the formulation is extended release.
If the headache is severe and persistent beyond few days, I would recommend a consultation for further evaluation. Hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic. Have a wonderful day.
