Administering pharmacologic headache relief measures such as over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription medication can help alleviate tension headaches in children. Other interventions, such as relaxation techniques or stress management, may also be helpful. However, bed rest is typically not necessary for tension headaches and assessing for an aura or nausea/vomiting may not necessarily change the immediate nursing intervention for the headache.
