Kelly is a 14-year-old patient who presents to the clinic with a classic migraine. She says she is having a headache two to three times a month. The initial plan would be:
1. Prescribe NSAIDs as abortive therapy and have her keep a headache diary to identify her triggers.
2. Prescribe zolmitriptan (Zomig) as abortive therapy and recommend relaxation therapy to reduce her stress.
3. Prescribe acetaminophen with codeine (Tylenol #3) for her to take at the first onset of her migraine.
4. Prescribe sumatriptan (Imitrex) nasal spray and arrange for her to receive the first dose in the clinic.
