Ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin), naproxen (Aleve) and aspirin (Bayer or Ecotrin) are common pain relievers that belong to a class of medication ... Ibuprofen, by comparison, works faster than naproxen.
Not cool! One caution: Taking pain relievers too often can trigger rebound headaches. If you take pain medication for a headache 10 days in a row or longer each month, get checked out by your doctor.
