Ibuprofen and benadryl probably, I get headaches and aches/pains pretty regularly and bouts of insomnia a lot.
Last time I had an actual injury in the woods, it was gauze and tape. If you have any sort of injury needing dressing you will be happy you brought lots of both.
Also, I would strongly recommend putting a compact headlamp like this in your kit. For me anyway, lots of times I'm camping at festivals or large groups where the whole area is lit with patio torches, so often times I'm wandering around camps and I don't even bother to bring a light because I can see fine to get around. On those occasions where someone needed some first aid, it's really nice to just have a light in your kit instead of having to find the kit and a light.
Another item I think most people don't pack but I recommend is a large bore needleless syringe. Perfect for spraying water into a wound for cleaning before applying a dressing. It would be best to dispose of a syringe after using once but if you had to sanitize one for reuse you'd want to draw up boiling water into it and flush back out several times.
Have you considered the Petzel e+lite? It's not AAA (uses 2x CR2032) but it does have everything else you seem to be after: https://www.amazon.com/Petzl-E02-P2-LITE-Headlamp/dp/B002LC44Z2 This isn't the most recent version of the model but I used the one in the link on the JMT last year. The new one is brighter (50 lumens) and lighter than the previous version (26g). Burn time on 50 lumens is a claimed 9 hours, 12 hours on 15 lumens.

I didn't to a whole lot of night hiking (probably a few hours over the course of the trip) but when I did I was under tree cover for a good bit and this gave me just enough light to not trip all of the time. I didn't use is as a headband though, I held it about hip height to try to cast the light a little farther down the trail. I currently use the Nitecore tip but I haven't gotten to use it enough to really pass judgement on it yet.
Hue is pricey. If you do want to upgrade to a cheaper hands-free solution, though, these are pretty great, and have a red LED you can turn on without cycling through white.
