What are the alternatives I can take to relieve my headaches while pregnant?

Question

Hello, I am 17 weeks pregnant and I have been suffering from constant headaches for several days to a week... I take tylenol but it does not seem to relieve me at all. My headaches seem to be tension headaches and not migraines because they are generalized all over my head.

Hello, if acetaminophen does not provide relief, you should refer the problem to your doctor. Over-the-counter options are slim. Anti-inflammatory drugs are not indicated unless medically indicated. I encourage you to keep a headache calendar: https://migrainequebec.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/calendriers_calendrier_calgary_francais.pdf
