You wake up and open your eyes, your head is pounding. Maybe a little breakfast will help. You try a few bites of an egg on toast, but your head hurts too much to eat. Maybe you’re getting sick? With a groan, you walk to the medicine cabinet. You find a bottle of Tylenol. (The technical name of this medicine is acetaminophen). You pop a pill in your mouth, take a gulp of water and swallow. Then you lie down and wait. As the medicine starts to work, your headache will go away.
