What to do for dementia and chronic headache?

My Mom 90 has dementia but complains with headache every day. Neurologist says only give her meds 3 times a week, what are you supposed to do when she is crying in pain

If she's crying with pain, she needs to be seen by a doctor. Call your pharmacy and find out which of her meds has headache as a side effect. Talk to the doctor about that.

Pattyrose, what are causing her headaches, as that been determined? Some times it can be a side effect of other medicines she is taking, or it could be just this time of year with all the pollen. Talk to her primary doctor.
