Can my wife, who is three months pregnant, safely take Calpol or other medicines to treat her fever, cold, headache, and body pain?

Asked by Female, 26 · 2 hours ago

Yes, your wife can safely take Calpol (paracetamol) to help manage her fever, headache, and body pain. Paracetamol is the preferred and safe choice during pregnancy when used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest time. However, she should avoid other common painkillers like ibuprofen unless advised by her doctor. For her cold, plenty of rest, warm fluids, and saline nasal drops can provide great relief. Please ensure she consults her obstetrician before starting any new medication to ensure both she and the baby stay safe and healthy.
