Hello, pharmacist! My wife is 9 weeks pregnant and is experiencing a toothache along with a swollen jaw. I'm hesitant to give her any medication because I'm concerned about its potential effects on the fetus. However, the pain is becoming unbearable for her, so I would like to seek your advice. Can pregnant women safely use Paracetamol 500 to relieve pain? Will taking Paracetamol have any impact on fetal development? What is the appropriate dosage for her? Thank you for your help.

During breastfeeding time, mothers may suffer pains caused by injury, infection, toothache, or secondary pain due to arthritis. If it is not treated properly, it can lead to depression or anxiety, which may have negative effects on the physical and mental health of a mother. Therefore, the use of pain relief medication in these cases is essential, but there are certain precautions.
