For severe period pain, over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol, ibuprofen, or naproxen are usually safer choices. Your daughter can take them on the days she experiences period pain, preferably after meals to avoid stomach upset. Consult a doctor first if she has any stomach, kidney, or other health problems before taking them.
