I occasionally get mild headaches when I delay or skip my usual tea or coffee. What type of medication is appropriate for this kind of headache? I usually take Diclogem or Disprin, are these safe and suitable?
G.santoshini Reddy

Mild headaches that occur when you delay or skip tea or coffee are often due to caffeine withdrawal or routine-related tension, and they are usually not dangerous. In such cases, simple measures like drinking water, having your usual small amount of tea or coffee, resting, or taking a short break are often enough, and if needed, a simple pain reliever like paracetamol is the safest option. Medicines like Diclogem (diclofenac combination) or Disprin (aspirin) are generally not required for these mild, predictable headaches and should not be used frequently, as they can cause side effects like stomach irritation or acidity. If the headaches become frequent, severe, or start occurring without relation to caffeine intake, it is better to consult a doctor to rule out other causes.
I'm 8 months pregnant with a severe headache. Can I take Disprin?
Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Disprin (aspirin) might be harmful to the unborn child, thus you should avoid taking it while pregnant, especially in the third trimester. For headaches, you can take paracetamol, but before taking any medicine, speak with your doctor.
