Experienced it during 2nd trim and took panadol to relieve. Gynae had confirmed that normal panadol is ok and it's safe long as you don't take more than 4 doses a day (8 tabs).

I also tried not to take any medication. Try to close your eyes and rest/sleep more. Drink 100 plus or any isotonic drinks to hydrate yourself.

You can put hot water bag on the area to help soothe it. That’s what I did when the headaches become bad.

I experienced one too and gynae said normal panadol is safe. Take the lowest dosage as possible

I had headache in early 2nd trimester. Went massage to get it sorted out. Didnt take any panadol.
