paracetamol ?

[wookie]

keep having bad headaches (I never used to have them before) but having read I should avoid taking any pills I've been suffering in silence (well almost ) .Now I've had toothache (wisdom tooth) for a few days and it's killing me ! My friend seem to think it's ok to take paracetamol,I'm 13 weeks,is it ok ?

you can take paracetomol hunny my wisdom tooth is causing me hell at the minute and i have taken some but mines more abcess and gum soreness so its not really helping it

This is one of the very few things I learned at my first doctors appointment. She basically just took my blood pressure, checked that I'm not a smoker and said I shouldn't take any over-the-couter medications with the exception of paracetamol - paracetamol's okay! I never take pain killers anyway but at least I know I can if I need to.

Yeah paracetamols fine...for headaches try a 4head stick,I used to get bad migraines in 1st tri and although they didn't take it 100% off it definitely helped xx

Gosh, I'm only 6 weeks and have had to take loads of paracetamol so far. But it's had no effect what so ever. When i'd been awake with toothache so bad all night i rang emergency doctor at 5 am and she gave me co-codemol, which is stronger and did help but she said to go easy as i was preg.

Paracetamol is fine, though not to be abused of course; it is the ibrufen etc, that we are advised not to use.. I am getting headaches too. For tummy pain though, a hot water bottle was advised by my midwife x
