There's no harm to take medicines for headache during periods, but avoid over dose & watch your liquid intake too...

Ofcourse it is fine to take painkillers, I'm not sure who told you that, but if it is that severe your best bet is to consult your doctor incase you need something bit stronger.

headache right....

there are so man reason for a headache...

where exactly is your pain...???

if it is at the back side of your head then its because of stomach upset. you must drink a lots of water and take rest....

lack of proper sleep also cause headache....

if the headache is at the frond side.. it may be due to excess mucus...

if the headache is towards the top side or left side or right side.... i forgot the reason for that...

anyway....

i think you must drink a lot of water and dates....

during periods its always better to eat dates. because your body needs more iron during your periods....

anyway....

get well soon....

take care....

By plushed• 23 Nov 2010 16:41
plushed

no. i mean how long have you been getting your period.

anyway,

i take celebrex twice a day for my dysmenorrhea day before my period starts til it ends.. its a prescription drug, so its strong (need to up the dosage for me though)

i dont think your friend is right. you can start maybe with some panadol. :)

Brit it is.. But i havent heard any case about it.. so it is safe to take meds...

By arecel• 23 Nov 2010 16:38

astroiza, i haven't heard anything like that. except maybe on meds that are highly specialized and therefore need a prescription from the doctor. as it is, meds for headache don't belong to this group.
