'it may help with a headache' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer. I also know that 'headache' relates to this answer.

'in paris perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'paris'='inparis'
'inparis' is an anagram of 'ASPIRIN'.
