| Yep, I was told paracetemol only, I take panadol. None of those you have in are any good as you cant take codeine or ibuprofen.

| My doc today said paracetemol only. Everything else (e.g. aspirin, ibuprofen) can harm the baby. | | | | Status: Offline

| Paracetamols only. I suffer the same with my head and bought a 4head stick which i think actually works. Think it's similar to tiger balm.
Hope u find something to help x | | | | Status: Offline
