Is it safe to keep giving Brufen 400 to my 13-year-old son for a returning headache after he recently had Chikungunya and a cold, or should we go back to the doctor?

Since he recently had Chikungunya, we must ensure his platelet levels are fully recovered before continuing with NSAIDs like ibuprofen, as they can affect bleeding. Additionally, a 400mg dose should be carefully checked against his weight. To be safe, I highly recommend consulting his pediatrician. They can safely evaluate these recurring headaches, ensure he is recovering well, and guide you on the right treatment.
