This is a tough question with the info you have provided. I get the impression that your forehead hurts on the inside, rather than, for example a tender spot on the outside. If this is true, this must feel different for you from a typical headache. The most likely reason for me is muscle tension, which can originate in the neck and shoulders and wrap around to the temples. I have foudn that gentle massage is excellent. I have taken Advil (ibuprophen) for this type of pain with some success, since it contains both a pain reliever AND an anti-inflammatory. I have also used cold compresses on the neck or temples. If this pain continues to persist, you should see your doctor to pinpoint the cause.

Muscles get knots called trigger points. These make the muscles tight causing them to press on nerves and other thing.
Pain can be referred from places other than the head.
#1 The first thing is to take a couple swigs of molasses or eat a couple of bananas. They contain magnisium and potassium both of which muscles need.
#2 WATER she should be drinking 1/2 gallon minimum. The head of neurology at UCDavis likens a body running low on water to a car running low on oil (the engine can seize).
Get a good (deep tissue) massage (to loosen the trigger points) on the back, shoulders and neck. Make sure to press up at the base of the skull where it meets the spine.
You rub or lightly scratch everywhere on your head. You will hit spots that are tender these are trigger points. The idea is to rub across them 6-12 times per session up to six times per day until they go away.
For more information on trigger points read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.

You may need glasses. Strain your eyes to see could cause headache.
