Paracetamol during the 2WW for boy

[Nora Aaron]

Hi Atomic,

I am 4 DPO, have been having terrible toothache so I ended up taking one 500 mg paracetamol pill yesterday and today. My dentist appointment is not until 20 days from now. I try my best not to take the paracetamol pill and I have been successful in doing so, but yesterday and today the pain was too much so I took one before I sleep. If you say that this will risk my blue sway or dangerous for pregnancy, I’ll just go to an emergency appointment so the dentist may solve the problem. What do you think?

Well, I'd have you go to the emergency appointment anyway if your tooth is getting that bad. It's likely just going to continue to worsen, and an abscessed tooth will be a heck of a lot worse both for safety when pregnant and for your sway than a paracetamol that's for sure.

But one paracetamol now and then should be fine.
