To find the difference between the two medications, we first need to convert them to the same unit.

1. **Convert the headache tablet from grams to milligrams:**
   - Since $$1 \text{ g} = 1000 \text{ mg}$$, we can convert $$0.018 \text{ g}$$ to milligrams:
   $$
   0.018 \text{ g} = 0.018 \times 1000 \text{ mg} = 18 \text{ mg}
   $$

2. **Now we have:**
   - Powdered headache medicine: $$12 \text{ mg}$$
   - Headache tablet: $$18 \text{ mg}$$

3. **Calculate the difference:**
   $$
   \text{Difference} = 18 \text{ mg} - 12 \text{ mg} = 6 \text{ mg}
   $$

Thus, the difference between the headache tablet and the powdered headache medicine is $$6 \text{ mg}$$.
The difference between the headache tablet and the powdered medicine is 6 mg.
