Haan, mere doctor ne bhi paracetamol bola tha jab fever aaya. But she told fixed dose only na, not whenever I feel like. Tu apni gynac se ek baar pooch le.
When I had bad headache during office days, I just messaged my gynac and she okayed one paracetamol. Took two minutes. Better to ask than to keep guessing yaar.
I won't say what you should take, but in my case my gynac did allow paracetamol for fever and mild pain. I always took it only after asking her. Please confirm dose with your own doctor before taking anything.
Please don't self decide on this. Even if it is commonly given, the timing and dose matter and only your gynac can tell properly. A quick call to the clinic is worth it.
I had some issues in my pregnancy so I was extra careful with every tablet. Honestly please take nothing without your doctor's clear yes, even common medicines. Safety first for you and baby.
My doctor told me paracetamol is generally the preferred painkiller in pregnancy when actually needed, but only in the right dose and not regularly. She was clear to avoid ibuprofen type ones. Best to call your gynac and confirm for your case.
