Answer
Greetings and blessings
For a localized headache, it is forbidden to take medication on Shabbat.
However, for a headache that weakens the entire body, it is permitted to take medication on Shabbat. [
All this applies to an adult, but for a child it is permitted to take medication even in order to prevent pain.
