Over-the-counter pain relief is available in a number of different formulations, including liquids. Ask your pharmacist what might be best for your mother.
More importantly, do you know what might be causing the headaches? Has this been discussed with her doctor?
Have you tried giving the pills in a spoon of applesauce, pudding or jam? Have you tried warm or cold compresses? Massage? An OTC topical ointment like Voltaren emulgel?
Suppositories are brilliant. Ideal solution to so many problems, such as swallowing difficulties and nausea and damage to the stomach lining, all for the price of a surprised expression on your face for a fleeting moment.😳

He can prescribe something that can be compounded for her in a liquid.
Ask your pharmacist if they do that. They might have a solution that is over the counter.

I hope you find something, they can be shattering for your wellbeing.
